Spring Fling Educates and Entertains About Spring Break Safety
Spring Fling is a University Housing event designed to give students a chance to dance, socialize and win some awesome prizes. This event centers around education on health and safety tips prior to spring break travels.
Students have the opportunity to play a variety of carnival games while using Drunk Busters "drunk goggles" to illustrate the impact alcohol impairment can have on even the easiest of tasks and games.
Games will be hosted by various student support offices and services including, University Police, Counseling and Psychological Services, No Woman Left Behind, Pat Walker Health Center and University Conduct and Substance Education and Alcohol Resources to create opportunities for further interaction to learn about alcohol safety.
The event runs from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, March 14, at the International Connections Lounge and the two adjoining patios of the Arkansas Union. There will be a DJ, food, and prizes to accompany the spring break carnival fun!
Don't miss out. Swing by Spring Fling for an awesome time!
