West Virginia Fentanyl Education

8/31 is International Overdose Awareness Day. Today, we remember the lives lost to and affected by overdoses across the world. Remember, at WVU, we are a family, and families help each other. Together, we can work together to #EndTheStigma and #EndOverdose 💜 #IOAD

We hope to see you this Thursday @ 2:30 PM in the Gluck Theater of the Mountainlair for our Focus on Fentanyl symposium! Join us for an insightful conversation and to receive some free fentanyl test strips.

MEDIA ADVISORY: WVU to host 'Focus on Fentanyl' symposium wvutoday.wvu.edu/media-center-b…

Thank you @Sen_JoeManchin and @USAttyIhlenfeld for joining us today! #OneMountaineerFamily

I’m back at my alma mater, @WestVirginiaU, to meet with WVU students as part of @WVFentanylEdu. Thank you, U.S. Attorney Bill Ihlenfeld and Azeem Khan for your leadership in fighting the drug epidemic & bringing attention to youth mental health.

Join us for our “Focus on Fentanyl” symposium on April 13th @ 2:30 PM in the Gluck Theater of the Mountainlair to hear from @SpeakerHanshaw @GordonGee @IhlenfeldWV and experts in prevention, law enforcement, and data analytics.

Take part in OPhiA's Substance Use Awareness Week. Carruth will be present at the Luminaria to honor those lost to substance use. See you there!

Great to have our Task Force Co-Chairs talk with @GordonGee about efforts to educate Mountaineers on the dangers of fentanyl. Stay tuned for a big announcement about an event this spring that will help to further spread our message across West Virginia. Let’s go, Mountaineers!

Have a fun weekend, Mountaineers — here are some reminders to make sure we do it safely! #OneMountaineerFamily

Thank you @WVUPanhellenic for allowing us to present at your meeting yesterday. We are excited to work together to help educate Mountaineers and save lives. #OneMountaineerFamily

Home for the holidays? Be safe, Mountaineers! @WVFentanylEdu

We wish you well as the weekend and a potentially demanding finals season approaches. At WVU, there are resources available to protect our Mountaineer Family. This time of year is stressful for many of us – now more than ever, it is crucial to #LearnActShare.

We know that this time of the year can be stressful, but you’re not alone and we’re here to help. Counselors are available, you can schedule an appointment at the Carruth Center, today. 🔘 carruth.wvu.edu

It is important that all Mountaineers are aware of and utilize resources on campus that can help protect our Mountaineer Family. Don’t forget to #LearnActShare to protect our #OneMountaineerFamily

This week, I had the opportunity to meet with Azeem Khan, founder of the Mountaineer Fentanyl Education Task Force. I am proud that Azeem & @WestVirginiaU students are taking the initiative to educate their peers about the dangers of fentanyl — potentially saving lives!
