Individuals can engage in quick, confidential alcohol and/or cannabis screening to learn about and explore their level of risk(s).  The opportunity to participate in screening is invaluable.  Being more informed allows individuals to prevent the development of risky or harmful behaviors, and being able to identify concerns early puts individuals in control to make decisions that can help them align more closely with their goals and priorities.Tuesday, September 26, 12-2, Watterson by Reflection Room Tuesday, October 15, 12-2 Schroeder Hall, 1st Floor Lobby Table Tuesday, October 29, 12-2, Tri-Towers, Outside of Linkins Dining Center Thursday, November 14, 12-2, State Farm Hall of Business, Auditorium LobbyHosted by: Health Promotion and WellnessAdditional Information can be found at: https://redbirdlife.illinoisstate.edu/event/10178852

Join Devotees to Democracy for a fantastic event to gather with the ISU/BloNo community and discuss what it truly means to exercise democracy! We will engage with local political leaders such as Evelyn Sanguetti, former Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, to learn what it takes to represent the people and take charge of our civic responsibilities. Along with our keynote speaker(s), we have an activity planned which includes unraveling our political typologies, understanding who currently holds power in our local government, and furthermore, how we can collaborate to advocate social change. There will also be food and drinks! All majors are welcome as this space encourages inclusivity and a bipartisan stance. You are not required to have any expertise on political science, legal studies, or policy to join in! If you are one of those majors, we highly encourage your attendance as you can bring perspective that will benefit all participants. Leadership Education and Development (Dean of Students Office) and Center for Civic Engagement will be present to provide resources on voter registration, volunteer service, and other pillars of involvement to motivate sovereignty. Hosted by: Devotees to DemocracyAdditional Information can be found at: https://redbirdlife.illinoisstate.edu/event/10444172
