The University of Nebraska's Campus Recreation Center's newly renovated gym is shown from a low angle where numerous weight machines are shown beneath the large red "N" logo on the ceiling.

DopaGE is thrilled to welcome the University of Nebraska-Lincoln — Nebraska's largest public university — as our newest partner.

This partnership is funded through a Region 5 Systems opioid abatement grant and represents DopaGE's largest implementation yet.

The Daily Nebraskan covered the launch, read the full story HERE.

“To be able to provide college students with education like this is a win-win.” said Dr. Jon Gayer, Assistant Director of Alcohol & Drug Education.

UNL students now have free access to gamified, college-tailored substance misuse prevention training covering opioid overdose response, fentanyl, cocaine, benzodiazepines, MDMA, and alcohol.

Upon completion, students receive certification and free Narcan so that the entire UNL community has the ability to prevent, recognize, and respond to overdose emergencies.

The University offers the DopaGE Overdose Prevention Portal as their primary mechanism of Overdose Prevention and Response Training through the Office of Alcohol & Drug Education.
