DWI Awareness Month Event

For many of our students, December can be a month of celebrations, parties and going out for drinks with friends to catch up. For others, it may be a challenging time in which they turn to alcohol and drugs to cope. Whatever the reason is behind students indulging this holiday season, it is important for them to remember the dangers of impaired driving. Historically, December has a higher accident rate than other months on average. For this reason, December has been designated as National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Month. 

To help bring attention to this important topic, MCC’s Counseling Center, Disability Services and & Health Services Department has teamed up with STOPDWI New York and MCC Public Safety to provide an informative and interactive event at our Brighton Campus. Students will learn more about the dangers of impaired driving by using a video game simulator, doing mock sobriety tests with impairment goggles, and reading stories of people within our own community who lost their lives tragically to drunk or drugged driving accidents. The event will be held on December 5th from 11am-1pm at our Brighton Campus Terrace. Please consider helping us spread the word on this event.
