April 8th called for beautiful weather and there was not any better day to hold Safety Day here at the Ville. Safety Day, was sponsored by the Student Senate Safety Committee, and was an initiative to get students informed and involved in issues that are vital to having a healthy and safe campus life.
Various campus programs came out to the Quad for the event, including Health Services and MUPD. There were a bunch of activities to participate in and prizes to win. Different pamphlets and booklets were handed out with information about early detection of skin cancer, and bicycle safety.
Free refreshments drew the crowd. There was pizza, fresh fruit, and popcorn served. It was good to see students taking an effort to become informed about things directly affecting them. President of Student Senate Kelly Matthiesen said that the whole purpose of Safety Day was to promote awareness of different safety issues around campus.
She wanted everyone who turned out for the event to gain understanding and knowledge of potential dangers, and to get to know their Student Senate. This also gave other campus organizations the opportunity to come and promote themselves. It took about a month to plan this event. The atmosphere was fun and educational.
