Bob McDonnell announced yesterday the launch of a challenge for undergraduates to emphasize the importance of safety on college campuses across the state.\nTitled "College Campus Safety and Violence Prevention Public Service Announcement Challenge," McDonnell's initiative offers students the opportunity to create public service videos addressing the safety issues most important to them.
