“A.C.T. because you care” is based on the premise that micro-influencers who are easily recognized and relevant to the student population are able to encourage others to engage in well-being behaviors. The project strategy is based on identifying and engaging student influencers to prioritize health and well-being and act accordingly. The core foundation of this project is to build upon the natural influence that peers can have on each other. Thus, the curriculum teaches influencers well-being skills and intervention methods for emergency situations. Influencers can develop the skills to prevent harmful substance use behaviors and learn communication skills to foster supportive communities. Furthermore, the influencer training provides information on substance misuse and intervention strategies for substance misuse.”
This training will be offered throughout the Fall 2026 semester in the Fraternity and Sorority Life’s (FSL) Multi-purpose room (MPR). The required participation for the fall semester is based on chapter size. Chapters under 50 members and fewer must send two members. Chapters over 51 members must send four members plus one officer. Chapters have nine training opportunities to achieve this requirement.
If your chapter did NOT meet the minimum requirements for Spring 2026 , you are expected to complete the Spring 2026 requirement before any events are approved. Then, you must also complete the requirement for Fall 2026.
In-person sessions have a maximum attendance (approx. 25 attendees) therefore, attendees must RSVP for their preferred session. Although walk-ins are accepted, priority will be given to those who RSVP’d.
