College students go through many transitions in the first six weeks of college and during Ignite you will learn a lot about navigating these situations. Topics that will be covered include Alcohol Awareness, Mental Health, Title IX Awareness, and more! 

*We encourage all students to practice self care during any presentation. If anyone is uncomfortable at any time, we ask they communicate with us so we can assist them as needed.
