Today I joined Arkansas Tech University President Dr. Russell Jones to announce the kickoff of the One Pill Can Kill initiative at Arkansas Tech. This is the seventh campus in Arkansas to join the initiative. ATU’s involvement will play a crucial role in educating college students about the dangers of fentanyl and empowering them to take action to prevent its devastating impact on young lives.

In addition to announcing the kickoff, we are providing training for student leaders today that will equip them to recognize an overdose and know how to respond, as well as providing testing kits to be able to detect fentanyl in medications or beverages. ATU will also soon receive a vending machine where students, faculty, and staff can access free units of naloxone, commonly known as Narcan. The vending machine, training, and other materials are all funded by opioid settlement dollars managed by my office on behalf of the state. https://tinyurl.com/ywd3jxpv
