SHIFT is an initiative that aims to shift the culture of campus substance misuse to one of well-being. We partner with the UT community to implement environmental strategies grounded in public health and strengths-based frameworks, fostering a culture where student well-being is at the center of the college experience.
We're raising money for the SHIFT Event Fund to help more student organizations and groups—especially those with limited financial resources—host social events with SHIFT Makers. The SHIFT Makers—a team of dedicated UT students—bring people together with engaging conversations while serving delicious zero-proof cocktails at campus events for students, faculty, and staff. By challenging the social norms that tie alcohol to relationship-building, SHIFT Makers create a fun, social experience without the pressure or expectation to consume alcohol.

"Our bartenders were so great! They were very professional and actually made conversation with guests as they poured drinks. I was very impressed with the quality of presentation and drinks. Thank you for amplifying our experience!" - UT Staff Member
Your support will provide the ingredients, tools, and resources needed to create social spaces where UT students can connect and thrive!
