Many students were excited as she walked around campus, touring the different booths, talking with eager students and signing autographs. Her unwavering smile and elegance brought many people to attend the event.

Campus groups such as the Nursing program, had a chance to represent themselves to promote health and gain prospective students. Going with the “Spring Fling”, many clubs had a chance to gain notoriety.
“‘Spring Fling’ is an chance for clubs to put themselves out there. It just happened to fall on the same day as the Health and Safety Fair. We reserved about 25 tables every year and 18 or more were filled,” says Eric Noll, Legislative Affairs Director for Student Government.
With the help of Student Life and the Security team, the event showed many people who wanted to bring awareness as to why it was important to be safe. The event was packed with students, as the sunshine brought many people to the courtyard.
The Albany Police Department was represented by Officer Aaron Davis with his drug dog. He showed how obedient and smart the dog was and how it helps with police work.
Booths around the Albany community, such as Health Services, were in attendance, as well.
