In observance of Red Ribbon Week, an alcohol, tobacco, and drug prevention awareness campaign, Project XIII Class of 2013 of the School of Business and Management mangaged and organized a haunted house themed event to attract and increase student awareness of drug and alcohol prevention. As the chair of Health and Human Resources for the 2012-2013 school year, I was given the opportunity to oversee the process that took place to make the halloween themed house possible. Derrick Williams, a member of the Health and Human Resources committee, took the laborious role of managing the Red Ribbon Week observances and successfully organized the haunted house event. I want to personally thank him, as well as those that took an active role in ensuring that this event was effective. Although the initial purpose of the event was to increase awareness of drug and alcohol prevention, the 2013 Senior class also entertained their peers and established a greater understanding of the importance of this cause. Project XIII of Hambleton Enterprises at the School of Business and Management overwhelmingly encouraged students to pledge to be drug free upon entering the haunted house. Resultantly, over 200 students committed to a drug free lifestyle. Wednesday, November 7, 2012

I love reading about young people trying to encourage their peers to refrain from drugs and alcohol. It gives me hope for the future of America! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative way to bring awareness to your campus! It is such a pleasure to see our future at work!
ReplyDeleteGreat informative showcase. I am happy that you and your peers are conducting these events to increase awareness of your peers. Unfortunately, this generation of youth tend to gravitate toward peer education and I believe Project XIII is doing an outstanding job of providing their peers with positive influential information that encourages healthy lifestyles. You and your classmates are doing great things throughout Townview and I know that you will all be great professional leaders in the world!
