"COVID-19 isn't the only matter of life and death (we in higher education) need to worry about," writes a UCLA Daily Bruin columnist, adding that "the dangers of returning to campus - and its myriad opportunities for partying after more than a year of social distancing - present another worry." Below are a selection of recent media accounts of alcohol-risks awaiting student return to campus and surrounding communities and resources that can help IHEs prepare.
