The Health Behavior Assessment Center (HBAC) at Auburn University is a program that helps students get an unbiased view about their drinking habits.
HBAC is not a “just say no” clinic. The counselors and professors involved understand that drinking is not necessarily a bad idea. They want to show students how their drinking affects their grades, social life and more.
Through the program, students can learn about what other college students feel about their drinking and how their own drinking goes along with those values at Auburn. Students are taught about blood alcohol concentrations, how much money can be involved in drinking, how many calories you intake while drinking, etc.
To learn about what actually occures at the HBAC clinic, watch the interview with Dr. Christopher Correia, a professor of psychology and coordinator of the program. He and the other HBAC staff members would love for students to come in and speak with them. Appointments can be scheduled anytime.
If you or someone you know feels like drinking is becoming a major area of concern, HBAC is available for assistance. If students choose to attend an HBAC counseling session, the information they receive is free of charge.
For more information about the HBAC clinic, visit their Web site at http://www.auburn.edu/psychology/outreach/hbac/. They can also be reached by e-mail at hbacpsc@auburn.edu or telephone at (334) 844-4889. The HBAC office is located in the Psychological Services Center which is housed in Haley Center 1122.

RecycleMania, a competition between 400 universities in the nation, is now here at Auburn. The competition held a kickoff event on Cater Lawn this past Wednesday. Its goal is to spread recognition about how easy and useful recycling is, especially on our college campus.
The Recycling/Solid Waste Coordinator, Donny Addison, says another goal of RecycleMania is to make people think twice before throwing something away when they could easily recycle it instead.
You may have noticed more recycling bins around campus lately. Addison explained that this initiative was helped by Coca-Cola. The company donated many bins to various buildings on campus.
The recent recycling rate among Auburn students is 1.27 pounds per person. Although this number is larger than it has been in the past, there is still a long way to go to make a world of a difference.
Not only is RecycleMania a competition between the universities who are part of the Southeastern Conference, but there is an on-campus competition at Auburn, too. Different campus residences are recycling to win in a battle of their own. Addison explained that the total amount of recycling will be counted at the end and the winner will receive a party brought to their door.
Watch the video as Donny explains what the winner can expect to get.
