Baylor students set out to tackle one of the deadliest issues in college campuses across the country: accidental drug overdose. Cypress sophomore Avery Brunkhorst and Frisco junior Mikehla Gibbons founded a Waco Chapter of the national nonprofit End Overdose to do their part in fighting the epidemic.

In 2019 alone, the number of casualties opioid overdose accounted for was seven times higher than the number of U.S. military service members killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
