“I recently lost a friend in a fatal car accident. As heartbreaking as it was, I was devastated to learn that he wasn’t wearing his seat belt. I don’t know what caused the accident, but it’s possible that my friend could be here today if he had worn his seat belt. I wear my seat belt because it saves lives.”

Carrie Heller
Dean, Student Life & Deputy Title IX Coordinator

“I wear my seat belt because I want to be safe so that way, I can continue going to school, going to my job, and seeing friends and family.”

Owens Student

“Seat belts are important because, with me expecting my first child, I want to ensure my baby’s safety while driving.”

Lucille Woodard
Human Resources Generalist

“Wearing a seat belt is important to me because, ‘A’, it’s the law, and ‘B’, because I have a warm, sunny beach waiting for me in retirement and I’m not going to blow that.”
