100-Hour Challenge
The 100-Hour challenge occurs in February each year.
The 100-Hour Challenge is a campus-wide initiative to promote healthy choices surrounding alcohol.
By taking the pledge to either avoid binge-drinking OR alcohol use in general, this is an opportunity to step back and reflect on a relationship that could otherwise go unchecked, but also to support and affirm those who already live by this choice.

Students receive an email invitation the week leading into their 21st birthday, and talk through a positive plan for a safe, successful celebration and beyond.
