ULM Professor Spearheads Safe Driving Campaign

Distracted Driver Accidents
/
http://distracteddriveraccidents.com/
The number one cause of teen death is automobile accidents.

ULM professor, Joe McGahan, and grad student Crystal Curry are working on a conference promoting "A More Cerebral and Compassionate Approach to Getting from Here to There".

This pilot study's goal is to encourage the community (and the world) to not just manually drive but to be intentional and deliberate. Safe Now is applying for a grant, and hoping to become a multi-year project. 

This conference will be held November 10th through the 12th. The first day of this event, Thursday,  will be an introduction to the project, Friday will have a series of  activities to engage a younger audience, and Saturday there will be a mini-conference. There will be a variety of speakers from professors to police officers.

This event will take place at Strauss Hall. More information on this project can be found here.
