Membership Application
Mississippi Coalition of Partners in Prevention (MCPP) is a group of universities and community colleges in Mississippi that have joined forces to collaborate in planning, implementing, and evaluating researched best-practices for alcohol and other prevention programming to support education/prevention and safety for college students. Membership to the MCPP is free of charge, and all institutions of higher education (universities and community colleges) in Mississippi are invited to participate.
