Join us on Thursday, April 23rd from 7-9pm at the SFA Recreation Center, located at 1817 Wilson Dr., for an evening of fun and safety at Safe Summer Break!

Enjoy free food, drinks, games, and a chance to win prizes, while learning essential strategies and resources to stay safe.

As students prepare to leave campus for the break, this event focuses on being proactive about personal safety and knowing where to turn if support is ever needed. Students can stop by to visit with a variety of community organizations that will be sharing resources and helpful information!
