All around campus faculty, staff, and students could be seen wearing colored ribbons. The red and purple symbolize drugs and violence. The theme for ribbon week was "against drugs and violence," said Barbara Johnson, Drug and Alcohol Prevention coordinator. During the week, various activities took 2 place at the Gardner Center. From 10 am to pm, students could participate in drug and violence awareness exercises. On Tuesday, a coloring contest was held. Also a scavenger hunt was available to students to find the most faculty members wearing ribbons. Free treats such as snow cones, drinks, and popcorn were distributed to students on Wednesday. The "fatal vision course" was available to students to participate in on Thursday. This activity was to let students see how an intoxicated person sees. "This vision course is new this year, and we hope it helps students understand the effects of alcohol," said Elissa Skinner, REACH club president. As president, Skinner was in charge of all the activities and helped to monitor the events and answer questions students had about abuse prevention. "The goal is to help others prevent themselves from getting into abusive situations," said Skinner. On Friday, Barbara Johnson and Don Reid, director of campus security, performed the cutting of the ribbon ceremony to symbolize awareness of drug and violence problems. This was done simultaneously as Governor Mike Leavitt cut the ribbon at the state capitol. "Every year, there seems to be more support form students who want to help in prevention," said Don Reid. "I guess it is a result of the media coverage on abuse among families and friends." |
