I encourage our faculty and staff to accept an important challenge and inspire your students to do the same. For the fifth year, Counseling and Psychological Services and Oasis (a network of students committed to sobriety) have issued a challenge to the university called the Live Free Weekend . From noon Sept. 19 to noon Sept. 23, all those connected to the university have been challenged to forego alcohol, marijuana or recreational drug use for 96 hours. Alternatively, if abstinence is not a desirable goal for you, you can participate by signing the binge-free agreement (electing not to binge drink and to abstain from recreational drug use). Please take a moment to visit the Live Free website so you can take the pledge and learn more about this event. And please announce this challenge and the many events designed for students in your classes, lab or department. The website is http://www.colorado.edu/livefreeweekend .
