Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) at Cal State Monterey Bay (CSUMB), led by Maria Fernanda Corral Cervantes was featured in The Lutrinae.
For Cervantes, fostering a culture of harm reduction on campus means more than just providing resources–it’s about creating a space where students can discuss their experiences openly. “It’s important for students to have a place to talk about things like drinking habits or first-time experiences with substances,” said Cervantes. “Many students are away from home for the first time and may not fully understand their limits. Having conversations about safety helps students make informed decisions and be prepared if something goes wrong.”
