Kookmin University Selected for Drug Prevention Education Program; Establishes ‘Student-Led Campus Prevention Model’
- 26.04.17 / 홍유민
Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) has been selected as a final recipient of the “2026 Drug Prevention Education Support Project for University Students and International Students,” organized by the Korean Council for University Education (KCUE). Administered by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and implemented by the KCUE, this project was established to prevent drug-related crimes on college campuses—a growing social concern—and to protect students from such crimes.
Through this project, Kookmin University plans to run various programs through November, including ▲operating student support groups ▲a contest for creating drug prevention content ▲and conducting online and offline drug prevention education. To this end, the university will select the “B.B. Supporters,” a student-led promotional group, to spread a participatory prevention culture where students directly plan and participate.
The name “B.B. Supporters” is derived from the initials of “Be Brave,” referring to activists who possess the “courage to say no” to drug problems, stay away from drugs, and envision a healthy society. The group is commissioned and operated by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to encourage drug prevention activities among university peer groups.
Kookmin University has been consistently promoting prevention-focused campaigns for the health and safety of its campus community. Last year, at Kookmin University’s Democracy Plaza, the university ran an integrated health promotion campaign for its members, introducing various lifestyle-oriented programs, including drug prevention. The campaign consisted of four booths: ▲ a smoking cessation campaign offering personalized counseling and providing nicotine patches and smoking cessation supplies; ▲ a health promotion experience zone where participants could learn about moderation in alcohol consumption, nutrition, and physical activity; ▲ a program offering free anonymous drug testing and linking participants to victim protection and treatment support; and ▲ a campaign promoting respect for life based on self-assessments of depression, anxiety, and stress.
With this project selection, Kookmin University plans to move beyond simple one-time education and continuously develop effective prevention activities based on student participation and hands-on experiences.
