About The Buzz
The Buzz is a fun, game-oriented, interactive, and engaging approach to alcohol education created by Spencer Gorin
In 2010, the University of Arizona brought Spencer in to capitalize on his unique, playful and engaging methodologies to create an alcohol education program that college students would actually enjoy participating in, learn from, and identify personal intent to moderate drinking behaviors. The serious problem of college student alcohol consumption demanded a different way of reaching students. The Buzz and Spencer’s facilitated-learning approach quickly made this one of the most sought after presentations by residence halls and Greek chapters. Finally, there is a way to deliver harm reduction and moderation messaging that students are joyously receptive to.
Program evaluation shows that The Buzz is not only very well received by students, but also makes a difference in their alcohol use. It can be used by Health educators, Residence Life staff, counselors, Greek Life staff, peer educators, and other Student Affairs professionals.
