Students Raise Awareness on Dangers of Smoking

 

Members of the Colleges Against Cancer student organization participated in a Great American Smoke Out demonstration Thursday, Nov. 15 by lying on the ground for two to three minutes to illustrate how many people die from tobacco use. 

 

 

The activity took place on McIntyre Mall on the Alma College campus during class change time. The organization also posted flyers and planted 160 white flags on campus to illustrate the number of people who die every minute from smoking or from second-hand smoke.

 

 

 

 

 

Since 2003, twenty Alma College students have won prestigious national fellowships, scholarships and awards, including 10 Fulbright fellowships and multiple Udall, Truman, Marshall and Gates-Cambridge scholarships.
