Friends: One
Day, One Wrong Turn
SUNY Albany hosts powerful exhibit portraying the consequences
of student drinking and driving
The State University at Albany is hosting an exhibit that
portrays the unintended consequences of drinking and driving.
The exhibit titled "Friends: One Day. One Wrong Turn" will be
on display March 10 to April 9 at the Empire Commons building.
The Friends Exhibit opened in 2003 at Siena College and has been
displayed on numerous college and high school campuses
throughout the country educating students and raising awareness
regarding drinking, driving and making good choices. The exhibit
recently completed a one month run at Fulton Montgomery
Community College.
The exhibit focuses on the lives of four Colgate University
students who died in an alcohol related auto accident six years
ago. Numerous personal effects including photographs of the
victims' accomplishments, books, trophies and stuffed animals
are included as part of the display. Also included are pictures
of the fatal crash, police documents, interviews with family and
friends and a timeline outlining the students last hours up to
the accident.
