Mission Statement: To develop programs for Late Night In The Zone that will provide students alternative ways to spend their Friday nights in a drug free atmosphere.

Goals: To provide students and guests a free, fun, alternative way to spend their Friday nights on campus. Participants will be given the opportunity to meet and interact with other students during these activities and form relationship with people who have similar interests.

Values

• Service to Others: We seek to serve those who attend Late Night in The Zone (and the early in the zone activities) and provide more options for them.

• Respect to our group members: We respect each group member equally and listen carefully to each idea given, ignoring no one.

• Equal Opportunity: We want anyone/every interested in participating in our activities to feel welcome and will do anything to create and equal opportunity environment.

Vision

We will provide an array of activities for In the Zone

participants and increase the amount of participation over the next year to enhance the lives of

students on and off campus.
