After Bella Grumet, a UNC Chapel Hill senior majoring in neuroscience, lost a close friend to an overdose last year, she was motivated to become an advocate for harm reduction strategies in hopes of preventing more drug-related deaths among college students.ย 

Her friend, UNC Chapel Hill student Elizabeth Grace Burton, died last March in a Duke University dorm room with a mixture of alcohol, cocaine, and fentanyl in her system.
