Our team has decided to focus on unsafe behaviors that students today are facing and taking a part in. We are exploring such areas as prescription drug use, risks of tanning, stress induced alcohol abuse, as well as broader categories of long-term unsafe behaviors and short-term unsafe behaviors. We have all decided to compile our work into a miniature multimedia magazine, which will include links to other useful information, and a pdf-format for online use. Our magazine will be able to inform students of important risks of certain college lifestyles whether they were aware of them before or not.
Our group consists of four individuals, all from very different backgrounds. This has helped us to construct a piece of work coming from four very different angles. Matt Warden has decided to take on the subject of prescription drug use among college students, more specifically the use of ADD medication because of his knowledge on the subject. Warden is a Senior NMC student who enjoys airplanes and playing the guitar. Yessenia Alarcon, an avid tanner, has decided to write about tanning and its effects. Alarcon is also an NMC student with a focus in advertising. Rick Chandler, an NMC student, is taking on the long-term effects and short-term effects of unsafe behavior, such as driving while distracted and smoking and drinking. Chandler wanted to make sure that these topics were covered. Natalie Moser will be looking at stress among students today and what they are resorting to because of it and what they can do about it. Moser, like the others is an NMC, who definitely understands stress.
