TRU Sustainability Project (Tobacco Free Colleges) Grant uri icon

abstract

  • The TRU Sustainability grant from NC Department of Public Health will be used to sustain comprehensive tobacco use prevention and cessation initiatives at East Carolina University as well as other organizations and universities throughout North Carolina. East Carolina University (ECU) will continue to partner with surrounding colleges and organizations to reduce and prevent tobacco use among college students aged 18-24. These funds will provide our coalition with resources and the necessary training to implement sustainable tobacco cessation programs that assist in providing tobacco education and cessation services as well as develop and promote tobacco policies throughout campuses in Eastern North Carolina. These efforts are designed to help reduce tobacco use among the target population as we initiate efforts for tobacco-free campuses/environments.
