In 2002 (the statistics of 2003 are not yet available) 17,419 people died from alcohol related automobile crashes. With March, being the most fatal month of drinking and driving incidents, the Willis Holcombe Center Student Government Association, with the assistance of Student Life, sponsored and organized the Alcohol Awareness Table on Tuesday March 16, 2004 from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm. The purpose of the table was to provide students with information about the health risks associated with alcohol abuse and the dangers of drinking and driving. Students who passed by the table were encouraged to sign a pledge stating that they would not drink and drive on St. Patrick’s Day. In return for signing a pledge, students were given a free Student Life t-shirt; night students were given the choice of a tote bag or Student Life folder.
