Abstract
In 1999, Penn State's alcohol-free program, LateNight (LNPS), was chosen by the U.S. Department of Education as a “model” program under its Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities competition. The mission of LNPS is to provide university students with entertainment during prime social times, 9:00 p.m. through 2:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 9:00 p.m. through 12:00 midnight on Thursdays, in an alcohol-free environment. LateNight also provides opportunities for members of student campus organizations to gain experience in programming, leadership development, and responsible social interaction. The LNPS program evaluation results show that dance programs, arts and crafts, and pottery were rated highest among participants, and most participants believe attending LNPS programs results in less alcohol use for themselves and for others.
