ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼’s smoke- and tobacco-free initiative inspired Valeria Delgado to take the cause nationwide
In 2012, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ student Asian Pacific Islander Community Wellness Club (APICWC), Master of Public Health (MPH) students and students from the School of Nursing gathered to make a historic change on the university's campus. They wanted ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ to go smoke- and tobacco-free. For the next two years, collaborative efforts from many groups across campus came together to petition USÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ to place a smoke- and tobacco-free referendum on the student January 2014 ballot.
