As colleges around the country are struggling with their students falling victim to alcohol poisoning and overdoses, Lehigh University is stressing medical amnesty on campus. The medical amnesty policy provides impunity to students who call services for help when in a dangerous situation. Lehigh University does not want any barrier to be the reason that would deter a student from calling for help in any situation.
On Wednesday night the University held 'Sips with Safety' where students could interact with the Lehigh University Police Department. The event was sponsored by Peer Health Advisors, Lehigh University Police Department and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. A large amount of Greek Life attended the event in order to show support and help raise awareness for medical amnesty. Below is the link where you can find further information on the law.
