SoberRide, Designated Walker help promote safe ISU Homecoming  

Indiana State University will promote a safe Homecoming celebration with two programs in addition to ongoing alcohol awareness education.

SoberRide is a free shuttle that will operate from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 23, date of the Blue & White Parade and the Homecoming football game vs. Youngstown State. SoberRide drops off passengers at Memorial Stadium and ISU’s campus, with several pickup locations.

Designated Walkers are volunteer students who are sober and keep an eye on their peers as they participate in Homecoming festivities. It is sponsored by Pepsi Refreshment Services.

“We’re happy that we can have these programs for the ninth straight year,” said Lauren Baines, ISU’s Director of Student Health Promotion. “They help keep Homecoming fun and safe.”
