How This UAT Alum is Making Arizona Safer for College Students

Since graduating from UAT’s Digital Media program (now offered as “Digital Video”) in 2018, CJ Logsdon has been a driving force in community outreach and safety efforts across Arizona. In her past work as a Community Outreach Coordinator with the Arizona Attorney General's Office, CJ made significant strides in leveraging technology and education to address pressing issues within the state, furthering the Office’s mission to provide valuable resources and education free of charge to all of Arizona.

In her previous role, CJ spearheaded a pioneering program aimed at colleges statewide, including UAT, focusing on opioid awareness and prevention. The focus of the program is to combat the ongoing opioid epidemic plaguing Arizona communities by providing crucial insights into prevalence, prevention strategies, and support networks. The Attorney General’s Office staff is also being formally trained in the administration of Naloxone in order to provide educational facilities with the lifesaving Narcan.

The Office is addressing a spectrum of societal challenges. From educating young adults about consumer safety to raising awareness about human trafficking and dispelling myths surrounding vaping, CJ's efforts encompassed a comprehensive approach to community well-being.

As a proud alumna of UAT, CJ Logsdon continued to make a significant impact in Arizona's safety landscape through innovative solutions. True to her UAT roots, CJ still flexes her design muscles whenever she can. She is passionate about color psychology and calls herself a “graphic design nerd.”
