KENNESAW — Distracted driving, which includes a range of behaviors such as texting
and driving, is the leading cause of death for young drivers, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Kennesaw State tackles the issue head on
Friday with “Ghost Out Dangers of Distracted Driving.”
The simulated re-enactment of a vehicle crash will be staged on the Campus Green from
4 to 6 p.m. Friday.
More than three dozen students, emergency responders and administrators will transform
the area near the KSU Convocation Center into the site of a fatal vehicle collision.
Actors will be covered in fake blood and theatrical make-up to heighten the effect.
To add to the realism, a medical team in a helicopter will land at the scene to render
aid during the rescue operation. KSU’s Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society and Student
Success are partnering during National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week.
A leader in innovative teaching and learning, Kennesaw State University offers more than 150 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees to its approximately 41,000 students. With 11 colleges on two metro Atlanta campuses, Kennesaw State is a member of the University System of Georgia and the third-largest university in the state. The university’s vibrant campus culture, diverse population, strong global ties and entrepreneurial spirit draw students from throughout the region and from 92 countries across the globe. Kennesaw State is a Carnegie-designated doctoral research institution (R2), placing it among an elite group of only 6 percent of U.S. colleges and universities with an R1 or R2 status, and one of the 50 largest public institutions in the country.
