Alcohol speaker visits Adrian

Adrian College welcomed guest speaker, Adam Ritz, to campus last Thursday to speak about alcohol awareness. Students involved in Greek Life, athletics and the Resident Assistant program on campus were required to attend the event. Ritz, having dealt with a personal situation involving alcohol which led to legal action being taken against him, chooses to educate young people about the dangers of alcohol abuse and the importance of alcohol awareness. Ritz, a former radio disk jockey from Indiana, is one of many speakers to come to campus to speak about making good decisions involving alcohol. Nearly every school year, during the Spring semester, a speaker is invited to discuss the topic, and the college strongly encourages all students to attend. This year’s presentation was at 8 p.m. in the Herrick Chapel Thursday, April 8. Ritz, a graduate of Purdue University, travels the country, telling his own story, as well as various other stories about alcohol related tragedies to various groups of young people, in order to explain to them the importance of drinking responsibly, and to remind them that one bad decision can affect you for the rest of your life.
