Purpose
Funding is now available to allow campuses the opportunity to implement on campus activities to raise awareness about the risks associated with gambling and positively impact the campus community environment.
Recent reports show that 75% of American college students report they have gambled in the past year. Adults ages 18-24 have been shown to have a significantly higher risk of developing problems related to gambling. Colleges, universities, and community colleges across Connecticut are now eligible to participate in a campaign to raise awareness that gambling is not a risk-free activity. Campus funded activities will promote healthy/responsible decisions around gambling.
