February 25, 2010 - The State University at Albany is hosting an exhibit that portrays the unintended consequences of drinking and driving. The exhibit entitled "Friends One Day. One Wrong Turn" will be on display March 10 to April 9 at the Empire Commons building.

The Friends Exhibit opened in 2003 at Siena College and has been displayed on numerous college and high school campuses throughout the country educating students and raising awareness regarding drinking, driving and making good choices.

The exhibit focuses on the lives of four Colgate University students who died in an alcohol related auto accident six years ago. Numerous personal effects including photographs of the victims' accomplishments, books, trophies and stuffed animals are included as part of the display. Also included are pictures of the fatal crash, police documents, interviews with family and friends and a timeline outlining the students last hours up to the accident.

The exhibit will also include a section devoted to Kathleen Campion, an Albany State student whose life was tragically cut short when she was killed in an auto accident by a drunk driver.
