Fair Educates Students About Spring Break Dangers
VALDOSTA -- Valdosta State University’s Office of Alcohol and
Other Drug Education will hold its tenth annual Safe Spring Break
Fair for students on Wednesday, March 10, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in
Palms Quad.
A fun-filled fair with music, free food and door prizes, the event
will begin March 9 with a DUI Simulator in the Palms Quad. The fair
also will include an informational table about the 2010 Census,
which will be mailed out the week before spring break, and its
relevance to students.
“The purpose is to provide our students with the information they
need to make healthy, safe decisions while on spring break; these
areas of concern include alcohol and drug misuse, sexual
responsibility, driving while tired/sleepy and over exposure to the
sun,” said Mark Williams, coordinator for the Office of Alcohol and
Other Drug Education. “Our students work hard throughout the
semester and deserve to have a fun, relaxing time over spring
break; it is my hope those memories will be positive ones.”
For more information, please contact the Office of Alcohol and
Other Drug Education at 229-259-5111.
