- What is SCODAE?
The Student Committee on Drug Abuse Education (SCODAE) is a voluntary organization made up of University of Maryland pharmacy students. This organization receives guidance from faculty members at the University of Maryland Office of Substance Abuse Studies. SCODAE teaches members to educate audiences of middle and high school students, parents, and education professionals throughout Maryland about drug and alcohol abuse. The SCODAE presentations differ from “Just say No’ in that we provide accurate and unbiased drug and alcohol information in order to prevent abuse and addiction within the community.
