Drug & Alcohol Peer Advisors

Drug & Alcohol Peer Advisors (DAPAs) are a select group of student-leaders who have been trained to respond to questions about alcohol and other drug issues at Harvard.  DAPAs provide an invaluable service to the University as health opinion leaders, resources to their peers, and ambassadors to the Office of Alcohol & Other Drug Services (AODS).  They help to inform programs, policies, and other prevention strategies overseen by AODS.
