In observance of Utah Prescription Opioid and He**in Epidemic Awareness Week in October, Weber State University and its partners will host a series of events, Oct. 1- 4, to educate the community about the ongoing opioid epidemic. There are five events over four days that are open to Weber State students and the surrounding community (all events are free).

The goal of Opioid Awareness Week is to bring resources and information to the students and the community about the opioid crisis, how it impacts so many aspects of the community and what is being done to address this issue.

A press release about the events can be found below.
