  • Drinking, Drugs, and Decision-Making: Helping Your Cardinal Make Informed Decisions with BRICC
    Oct 29 2025

    In this episode of From the Ville to the Nest, host Jessica Combess sits down with Mary Beth Uberti, Program Coordinator of BRICC to talk about how families can help their Cardinals make safe, informed decisions around drinking and drug use.

    This conversation isn’t about being anti-drinking — it’s about understanding today’s realities, talking openly, and building trust. Mary Beth shares practical ways families can start healthy conversations, prevent risky behaviors, and support students in making responsible choices.

    Whether your student is brand new to campus or nearing graduation, you’ll learn how small, consistent conversations can make a big difference in their safety and confidence.
