SLIDDE
School Leaders Involved in Drinking & Drug Education (SLIDDE) was developed to provide
educational information and implement prevention strategies for alcohol and all drugs on
the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus. The SLIDDE Committee is the combined
effort of several departments within Student Affairs and is geared toward prevention of
underage drinking and substance abuse on our campus and the surrounding community. Our
organization also works with the drug and alcohol taskforces at Universities statewide
in an effort to organize our strategies.
Each year our committee implements activities to promote awareness, education, and
prevention of drug and alcohol use based on the results of our annual CORE Drug and
Alcohol Survey. Perhaps you have already taken part in some of these activities.
Remember the Fatal Vision goggles at Lagniappe Day? What about the Mocktails for
Up Til Dawn? SLIDDE made these activities possible! Our organization also places a
wrecked car on campus, around the holidays, that was involved in a drinking and driving
related accident to bring awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence.
SLIDDE also hosts an annual 5k run, usually at the end of the Spring semester,
to raise funds to continually offer these activities to our UL Lafayette community and
raise awareness amongst our community in regards to substance abuse.
Get Involved!! We welcome all students to take part in our organization. If you
are interested in being a part of SLIDDE, please contact Kristy Fusilier at 337-482-6480,
or stop by the Counseling & Testing Department located in OK Allen Hall in the Saucier Wellness Center.
