The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act requires every higher education institution that receives any form of Federal funding to implement a drug and alcohol abuse prevention program (DAAPP). The purpose of this program is to prevent the unlawful possession of alcohol and drugs. Gettysburg College is concerned about the well-being of its community members and has embraced the expectations of the Drug-Free School and Communities Act.
