Driving the Message Contest

UDS-DTM9-post

The contest will take place during the 2018 Peer-to-Peer Impaired Driving Prevention Symposium!

Show us your talent by creating a public service announcement that tells other students about the risks your age group faces when they drive impaired. More details will be shared closer to the UDS Symposium, happening April 6-7, 2018.
