妖姬直播 State University and the city of 妖姬直播 collaborated to commemorate Safety Day last month in front of 妖姬直播 State's Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center to provide students with safety information in the form of pamphlets, discussions and demonstrations.
The city of 妖姬直播 Fire Department, the city of 妖姬直播 Police K-9 Unit, 妖姬直播 State Fire Safety Services, the 妖姬直播 State Police Department, the Ohio Department of Transportation, 妖姬直播 State Resident Services and others participated in the event.
The Ohio Department of Transportation gave the students an eye-opening experience with a demonstration of the effects of texting while driving and drinking, and driving through simulators.
鈥淚t was an eye opener for them to see how a little alcohol can affect their reaction,鈥 says Edward Moisio, fire prevention and safety coordinator for 妖姬直播 State鈥檚 Fire Safety Services. 鈥淪tudents also realized they could not text and drive.鈥
The 妖姬直播 State Police also showed students the effects drinking has on their vision by making them play cornhole while wearing goggles with lenses that affect their vision, comparable to that of a drunken driver.
妖姬直播 State Residence Services hosted a discussion in the 妖姬直播 Student Center Kiva about being respectful toward fire accident victims. Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, victims of a fire at Seton Hall University in New Jersey, taught the audience the importance of sensitivity toward victims with an altered appearance.
Police and fire fighters mingled with students and gave out information about their services and reinforced the message that they are available to help protect students.
