Every year when spring break rolls around, college students are prompted with a similar question: “What are you doing for your break?” In the following weeks, when the nation’s schools take a brief hiatus, the same people who ask that question are treated to headlines that read “Watch this idiotic spring break bro jump into a shark-infested pool,” or “Viral video shows spring break ‘chaos’ at Port Aransas.” But the truth is, there are college students who do not have the means or desire to party their break away at a foreign location.

According to the CDC, 91 Americans die every day from opioid overdoses. The DEA reported that Cumberland and Franklin Counties had 62 cases of drug overdose deaths in 2015 — nearly half of which were caused by opioids. This made SU a logical host for Wednesday’s heroin and opioid epidemic forum.
By the beginning of January, the annual Valentine’s Day craze has begun. It starts out slowly: a commercial here and there promoting sales at retail stores, or the best place to buy a box of chocolates without breaking the bank.
