The role of an alcoholic and other drug (AOD) program coordinator is described in this paper, with attention given to simplifying multiple administrative roles and responsibilities. The AOD problem is reconceptualized as a dilemma to be managed rather than solved. A comprehensive campus program is defined in terms of three elements: program components, target populations, and the chemical-use status of the target population. From a systems perspective, functions of the program coordinator include fostering coordination, consultation, program development, training/education, referral, and supervision. A primary theme is shared responsibility among systems. A recommendation is that the campus program coordinator apply the four principles of effective leadership (Bennis 1991) defining a purpose, communicating a vision, planning, and participating. Two figures are included. (LMI)
