Alcohol Studies Center Transfers to TTI

January 30, 2012

On Jan. 4, with approval from The Texas A&M University System chancellor, the administrative responsibility for the Center for Alcohol and Drug Education Studies (CADES) was transferred to TTI.

CADES — which was founded and directed by Maury Dennis, a retired Texas A&M University professor and a current senior research scientist at TTI — began operating in 1997 to address problems caused by alcohol and drug abuse.

CADES remained in Texas A&M’s Department of Health and Kinesiology in the College of Education and Human Development after Dennis’ retirement from the department in 2006. Since his employment at TTI the following year, Dennis has been successful in acquiring more than $500,000 in alcohol-related research projects for the center.

“The transfer makes a lot of sense,” Dennis said. “I think it now has a very good chance of expansion because of individual TTI experts in alcohol- and driving-related issues. CADES seems to be a perfect fit for the Institute.”

Under Dennis’ leadership, CADES developed numerous statewide education programs including the Texas DWI Education Program, the Texas Alcohol Education Program for Minors, and the Texas Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program. The CADES programs have been instrumental in teaching students, prosecutors, probation officers, expert trial witnesses and alcohol servers various aspects of alcohol-related issues.

“While the administrative responsibility of CADES has been transferred to TTI, the College of Education and Human Development will continue to be involved with center activities and research,” Dennis said.
