Carroll Community College is making community members aware that effective January 2, 2009, the college is a smoke and tobacco-free campus.
The college's board of trustees approved this new policy, which applies to students, faculty, staff and all who enter the campus.
"Carroll Community College is taking an important step toward a healthier campus by implementing this new policy," said College President Dr. Faye Pappalardo.
A committee of faculty and staff is working to communicate the policy to both internal and external publics. A variety of activities and events are planned to assist and support employees and students seeking help with smoking cessation.
