The third annual Spring Free festival, taking place on Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10, challenges all members of the campus community to refrain from the use of drugs and alcohol for 48 hours.
Participants sign a pledge at registration.
On Saturday, participants can play broomball, participate in skateboard races, a soccer tournament, and a scavenger hunt with professors. Saturday evening, there will be a prize drawing and closing ceremony, a food and drinks bar, and a performance by ventriloquist Dan Horn. Free and open to the public, Spring Free is sponsored by the leisure program, the CCCA, the president's fund, the panhellenic council, the dean's fund, the chaplain's fund, the sociology department, and several local businesses. While the event is usually well attended by students, Lynch is hoping for more faculty and staff involvement. President Mohrman and the Student Life staff have already signed their pledges.
