Purdue Parents

The Student Wellness Office and several of our campus partners want you to know about the alcohol scene at Purdue so that you can be an informed resource for your sons and daughters.   We’ve created a set of short videos just for you.  The videos have information and guidance from many of our campus experts with information to share with your students. Just click on the videos below, and learn about how alcohol impacts students’ futures, the University Residences alcohol policy, a brief primer about Facebook, and several other topics discussed by our Purdue experts.   

We know that you play a huge role in providing guidance and advice to your sons and daughters as they navigate their college experience.  On links on the top of the page, you will find national and Purdue statistics, tips on how to talk with your sons and daughters about alcohol, and campus resources. If you are looking for a resource and are unable to find it on this site, click on our contact information. We’re here to help.
