Student health education program hosting Safe Spring Break Week
The student health education program is sponsoring Safe Spring Break Week March 4-7 and will host informational tables from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. throughout the week. The schedule is as follows:
Personal Safety Day
Monday, March 4, O’Hare Academic Center lobby
Some tips: The “date rape drugs” Rohypnol and GHB are small pills that cause impaired judgment, partial limb paralysis, confusion and the inability to speak clearly. Never leave a drink unattended while you dance, use the bathroom or talk with a friend. Always use the buddy system, use common sense, be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. Be aware of health care costs in case an emergency arises.
Staying Safe in the Sun Day
