Community Drug Education Committee (CDEC)
The "Community Drug Education Committee" was established for the expressed purpose of developing leadership skills as well as an awareness of social responsibilities to encourage students to participate in public affairs. Our primary goal is to promote community outreach programs and educate children and adults about drug safety, poison prevention, and health related issues such as diabetes, nutrition, smoking cessation, and many more.
As a small organization that is constantly growing and expanding our horizons, we are welcome to new members and new ideas. We provide many opportunities for our new members to get involved, be it through development of a new public presentation or reaching out to new sites or guest lecturers.
