As students settle into the fall semester, I've been reflecting on how much ground HarborPath has covered on college campuses in the past year, especially across the SEC.
Within the last 12 months, HarborPath has supplied naloxone to four SEC universities and several other colleges throughout the South. What started as a student-athlete awareness campaign at Ole Miss has grown into a network of campus partnerships built on one simple idea: get lifesaving medication into the hands of the people who need it, right when and where they need it.
The newest chapter is in Arkansas. Attorney General Tim Griffin's office is rolling out fall semester naloxone trainings at 11 colleges and universities across the state, including the University of Arkansas, as part of the office's One Pill Can Kill initiative. Students and staff will learn to recognize an opioid overdose and administer naloxone, and HarborPath is proud to be the naloxone partner behind the effort, supplying roughly 4,000 units for these trainings.
Arkansas joins a growing list. At OU, student-athletes have lent their voices to direct classmates to free naloxone. At Ole Miss, an NIL campaign did the same. And as we shared last month, a grant from the Mississippi Attorney General's Office is now putting ODRescue Boxes on campus at Ole Miss and Mississippi State, so help is always within reach.
We’re incredibly grateful for our distribution partners at FFF Enterprises for making these supplying efforts possible.
Every one of these campus partnerships looks a little different, and that's by design. Each campus knows its students best. Our job is to bring the resources to serve unmet needs and protect students.
-Ken Trogdon, President of HarborPath
