This is a program that gives staff and students the tools for accountability and positive change: to help students learn the academic side of human performance, practice and teach those integral leadership skills, and even serve the community and younger students.

- Looking at a screen before sleeping can interrupt your sleep cycle. Turn off electronics 90 minutes before bedtime and use screens in a room with the lights on to help disperse blue light.
