University of Miami
At the University of Miami, ‘Canes Care for ‘Canes. We aim to achieve a campus community where all ’Canes respect and support each other and every member of our community will know that they belong.
Who We Are
The Sandler Center is a comprehensive prevention, intervention, education, and referral program focusing on alcohol and other drug use, misuse, and dependency. By working in partnership with all members of the campus community, we strive to:
- Promote healthy lifestyles, as well as personal and social responsibility, by providing and/or supporting programs, training, service, and alternative activities for students
- Educate students about the negative consequences of high-risk use of alcohol and other drugs
- Increase awareness and commitment within the University community to create an environment in which a change in attitudes, behaviors, and use of substances is possible and participation in high-risk behaviors is reduced.
