The Foxfield Racing Association will present its annual "Safety Education Program" to University student leaders tomorrow night at the Sigma Kappa sorority house.
Representatives from the University's Emergency Medicine department, the Charlottesville/Albemarle rescue squad, the Albemarle County police department, and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Team will join Foxfield officials.
Foxfield officials are planning to address rules and regulations at Foxfield, acceptable and unacceptable behavior and how to "plan ahead for a wonderful Foxfield experience and return home safely," according to a press release.
Part of the program will also consist of a video presentation to demonstrate examples of unacceptable behavior.
"Foxfield recognizes and appreciates that 99 percent of the student population at the races behaves in a responsible manner," the press release said.
While the safety program has already been presented at James Madison University, Hampden-Sydney, Sweet Briar and Washington & Lee, Foxfield officials said that Virginia Tech did not respond to repeated requests to give its safety program.
