Alice Hayes has long established herself as an outspoken university president
addressing student alcohol and other drug issues. In addition to her contributions
to campus policy and environmental prevention initiatives, she has remained
committed to community collaboration to address the problem. She works closely
with other organizations seeking to reduce underage drinking in the San Diego
area, and also with several other colleges and universities in Southern California.
The University of California San Diego offers a multitude of alcohol-free

region, President Hayes works to foster a safe environment for students and
acts as a model for other presidents hoping to do the same.
