The Alarming Truth

A great video about the dangers of off-campus fires, written, filmed and featuring students from Rowan University that is available for free download or online streaming.

9 Fires

A series of nine college/university-related fires happened within a very short period of time, and we went out there and documented the impact of these fires.
