Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will hold its annual “Wild & Wacky Wednesday” tomorrow, March 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the University Center East Lawn adjacent to the University Center. There will be games, free food, and free t-shirts for students participating in three or more educational activities. In addition, The University Health Center will provide information on sexual safety.

The Safe Communities Coalition, under the direction of Dr. Liz Sefcik and Dr. Phil Rhoades, in conjunction with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), will be on hand with the automobile roll-over simulator, DWI goggles and prizes. Students will be invited to sign pledges to not drink over spring break—or have a designated driver. The objective of Safe Communities and TxDOT is to Sav-a-Life.

The event is sponsored by the Recreational Sports Natural High Program and Campus Activities Board. For more information contact Adam Farrell, Recreational Sports assistant director, at (361) 825-2171.
