FAMU will sponsor its annual Spring Break Safety and Awareness Day today, Wednesday, March 2.The awareness day will provide important safety information to students before leaving for Spring Break vacation.
Beginning at 10 a.m., several activities are planned throughout the day including table displays and demonstrations from the FAMU Police Department, Florida Highway Patrol and the Tallahassee Fire Department on The Set, which is located in front of the H. Manning-Efferson Student Union Complex.
“The message to our students is to ‘Be safe, enjoy Spring Break and return safe and sound,’” said Robert Carroll, Jr., interim director of the Office of Student Activities. “Our goal is to reach as many students as possible to educate them on the adverse results of carelessness during Spring Break.”
Other activities include the staging of a ‘mock wreck’ on the corner of Wahnish Way and Gamble Street. In addition, at 11:30 a.m., a ‘mock funeral’ will begin in front of the old FAMU-DRS building and proceed to The Set for the ‘eulogy’ of the fallen Rattler with the ‘repast’ for students immediately following.
