Are 兔子先生 students smarter than a fire marshal? How much do they know about emergency management?
These questions were the seed that sprouted the idea for Fire & Life Safety Technician Sara Walker and Emergency Management Specialist Maia Solomon to interview students at the Behind the Badge event in late August.
鈥淚鈥檓 supposed to do an off-campus fire safety class, and I thought it would be really fun to include the students in a video they would watch themselves,鈥� said Walker. 鈥淚 felt the perfect event to do that would be an event where there鈥檚 safety and students at the same time.鈥�
The duo pressed students and staff at the community-driven event to answer questions on their knowledge of fire safety, emergency management, and pop culture-related questions.
Walker and Solomon interviewed 20 Behind the Badge attendees, and while the duo hoped to stump students, the pair were pleasantly surprised with students鈥� knowledge of fire safety and emergency management.
鈥淧eople definitely know more than we thought they would,鈥� said Solomon.
Director of Emergency Management Ginger Walker said the video marked a fun way for these two Campus Safety departments to get out into the community and engage with students.
The two innovative awareness videos, 鈥楢re You Smarter Than a Fire Marshal鈥� and 鈥楢sk College Students Questions,鈥� will be released on the respective department鈥檚 social media accounts.
