Tobacco-Free Community
Under the direction of former President Francis Ricciardone, the committee for a Tobacco-Free AUC has been working diligently to develop this campaign and plan for the changes to come. This diverse committee includes students, faculty, and staff and represents all major stakeholders on campus. The committee includes non-smokers, people who have quit smoking, and several members who are currently smokers. We aim to make this tobacco-free transition as smooth and fair as possible.
AUC is committed to maintaining a healthy, tobacco-free environment. The use of all tobacco products—including cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, and similar items—is strictly prohibited across campus, except in designated enclosed smoking areas. These areas are located exclusively within specific sections of the parking lots on the New Cairo campus (see map below) and are clearly marked with signs and boundaries. Tobacco use outside these designated areas may result in escalating penalties.
Relax
Campuses can be stressful environments. Whether you are a student, faculty, or staff ... stress affects us all. The next time you find yourself stressed out -- take a break and try on.
