Wright State University\u2019s campus came alive with flashing lights, emergency<\/span> vehicles and interactive activities as students, faculty and staff gathered for the second Campus Safety Day on Oct. 15.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Held on the Quad, the event brought together over 30 area agencies to showcase the resources, services and partnerships that help keep the campus and surrounding communities safe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just learned how to put a breathing tube down somebody\u2019s throat,\u201d said Bella Santiago, a first-year student majoring in biological sciences. \u201cIt was really cool.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Attendees connected with local first responders, explored emergency vehicles and learned more about campus safety and support resources in a fun, welcoming environment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The afternoon featured a K-9 demonstration, interactive games, a visit from the MedFlight helicopter flight crew, giveaways, food trucks, free ice cream and live music from Ell ‘n’ Murrell. Participants also enjoyed the Glazed and Confused Challenge, a donut-eating contest that added some friendly competition to the festivities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very good to interact with other agencies and let the students here at Wright State University know there are opportunities within the police department other than being a police officer on patrol,\u201d said Tony Murphy, a recruitment administrator for the Dayton Police Department.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Campus Safety Day continued into the evening with Campus Safety After Dark, featuring Popcorn with the Police and a screening of \u201cProject Hail Mary\u201d <\/span>in the Student Union Atrium, hosted by Wright State\u2019s Division of Campus Safety<\/a> and Student Government Association<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
