The bags will be hung on the door handles of about 1,500 homes to encourage students and lifelong residents to stay safe and work together to improve their community.

Best time for media: 10 a.m. Aug. 25 in the Emeritus Center in Goodyear Hall on the mgm casino South Campus. Volunteers will meet there before fanning out to distribute the information bags.
