Michigan Higher Education Network

Our Goal

The goal of the MIHEN is to create a group of individuals from Michigan colleges/universities interested in connecting and networking about underage drinking and substance misuse prevention. We currently have 53 colleges/universities participating in the MIHEN. By becoming a member, you are part of a dynamic community that supports you and your goals. Your participation gives you access to a contact list of other professionals in higher education interested in prevention efforts, inclusion in at least three networking meetings each year, and current research, resources, evidence-based practices, and support in implementing new programming at your school.
