High Expectations

What is High Expectations?

High Expectations is a program designed to help students evaluate the risks associated with marijuana and other drug use.  While the program helps with early intervention, it is not a rehabilitation program.  High Expectations is an empathetic, confidential, non-judgmental, non-confrontational program, and open to all JMU students.

Looking for a Change?

Some students may struggle with the use of marijuana and other drugs while in college.  Additionally, students may have a hard time coping with the negative effects that come from using illegal drugs.   If you are one of these students and are looking to make a change or reduce your drug use, High Expectations may be the program for you.

High Expectations can also help students that are:

• Referred by administrators, faculty/staff, coaches, or friends
• Mandated by Judicial Affairs for a JMU drug policy violation
• Court-mandated to complete substance abuse prevention hours

To discuss the appropriateness and scheduling of High Expectations for yourself or for a student, please contact Tia Mann (BASICS Prevention Specialist) at manntl@jmu.edu or 540-568-3317.
