JESSICA GREHER, MEd
Coordinator of Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Programs
Bentley College
2007 ACHA NEW PROFESSIONAL AWARD
   Jessica, the coordinator of alcohol and other drug prevention programs at Bentley College, has been in the college health field for a very short time but has achieved a great deal. She has greatly expanded the number of new prevention programs offered to Bentley’s students; Jessica was instrumental in implementing an alcohol education requirement for incoming freshman. She also gives weekly presentations to varying groups across campus, including athletic teams and Greek organizations. One notable program that Jessica began is “Strait Talks,” in which she visits high-risk floors in residence halls to speak frankly with students about alcohol and drug use. Her friendly and non-judgmental manner and her openness to student discussion create an environment in which students are both at ease and respectful.
