秋葵视频 is launching an anti-texting and driving campaign aimed at young drivers on its campus and around the state. The 鈥渢xtl8r鈥� (text later) campaign consists of a series of radio and television public service announcements and digital signage images that will be featured on campus, and will also be distributed to media around the state of Georgia. The campaign features 秋葵视频 President Brooks Keel, Ph.D., Eagles Head Football Coach Jeff Monken, University students and athletes and a professor who had to break the news of a texting and driving death to one of his classes. 鈥淚t only takes a split second for a text message behind the wheel to turn into a tragedy,鈥� said Keel. 鈥淲hile texting and driving is illegal in the state of Georgia, we know that thousands of young drivers engage in this potentially deadly behavior every day. With the 鈥榯xt l8r鈥� campaign, we are sending the clear message that no text is too important to wait.鈥� Georgia Southern biology professor Lorne Wolfe, Ph.D. decided to become involved in anti-texting and driving awareness after one of his students had a relative killed in an accident where texting and driving was involved. 鈥淚 looked into this classroom filled with young people and told them that one of their classmates wasn鈥檛 there because they had gone home to bury a loved one killed by texting and driving,鈥� remembers Wolfe.聽聽鈥淎s shocking and sad as that message was, I knew many of those same students would continue to text and drive.鈥� Wolfe partnered with Georgia Southern鈥檚 Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and the Office of Marketing and Communications to develop the 鈥渢xt l8r鈥� campaign. Students involved in Greek organizations, ROTC and athletic teams are featured to send the message that members of the Eagle Nation do not text and drive. 鈥淭he Georgia Southern Eagles practice safety on the field every day because we want to win,鈥� Monken states in one of the public service announcements. 鈥淚鈥檓 recruiting your support while you鈥檙e driving so that we all win.鈥� In addition to targeting Georgia Southern鈥檚 20,000 students, the public service announcements will be distributed to media around the state. Statistics by the U.S. Department of Transportation show that in 2009 distracted driving — which includes texting — was a factor in nearly 5,500 traffic deaths and a half million injuries. Studies show those most likely to be killed or injured are under the age of 20, while the second most likely group is between the ages of 20 and 29. 鈥淥ur students fall into the age groups most likely to be hurt or killed by texting and driving,鈥� said Keel. 鈥淪o that makes this campaign very personal for me and everyone involved. We don鈥檛 want our students鈥� great potential squandered by a moment of inattention at the wheel. The message is clear. Don鈥檛 text and drive — text later.鈥� To download the PSAs, please visit:聽听.
