Substance-Free Community
Health and Wellness Education is happy to provide consistent programming and support for students who are substance-free, in recovery, and/or are questioning their relationship with substance use.
Each semester, we host a variety of substance-free events, like game & movie nights, crafting socials, and outdoor trips. Be sure to stay up-to-date on our Events and Programs page. Use the button below to add your name to our listserv and submit ideas for programs you’d like to see on campus!

Harm Reduction
Before engaging in substance use of any kind, consider the following:
- Medical conditions that carry elevated risk
- Medications that may cause dangerous interactions
- The safety of the environment (e.g. calm, familiar setting)
- Communication with trusted friends and/or family members
- Emergency plans in the event of an incident
