We greatly appreciate the foresight and commitment of the late Chancellor Michael Hooker and the wholehearted support of key officials at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They are too numerous to mention individually, but we owe a special debt, and wish to express our extreme gratitude, to Dr. Susan Kitchen, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Dr. Melissa Exum , Dean of Students and the staff at the UNC Center for Healthy Student Behaviors.
We also wish to express our appreciation to Bill Tolbert, Paige Perriello, and Chad Sattler who played crucial roles in the development of this project, and to Chris Bartley, Alison Burke, Sherrie Hart, Kelly Ritch, James Schatz, and Kurt Scholla, who served as data collection team supervisors. We also offer our thanks and great appreciation to the more than three dozen individuals who served as interviewers for the two rounds of BAC data collection.
