UCSD’s annual Sun God is this Friday May 13th. With so many activities going on, we need to make sure we all know what to do to be safe and have fun. What better way to have fun and be prepared than by following our Every Little Bit Counts model? It’s an effective way of staying safe and helping your friends stay safe.
Be a responsive bystander on this crazy day, follow our IDEAS model:
If you feel that a situation is getting out of hand INTERRUPT the situation and say something like “Hey let’s go check out the food vendors.”
You can also DISTRACT the people in the situation and say something like “Who’s that on stage?”
If you feel like you cannot or do not want to handle the situation on your own you can always ENGAGE YOUR PEERS. Telling your friends “We should help go help them,” can alter the situation.
If you see a situation and really feel like it is getting too out of control you can always call the AUTHORITES. Call the UCSD PD at 534-HELP from anywhere on the field for help.
The key point of the day is not only your SAFETY, but the SAFETY of everybody around you. Remember “We don’t leave anybody behind.”
It starts with you.
Be a responsive bystander.
