St. Joseph's University Students Are Making Their Campus Safer

In a few weeks, students at St. Joseph's University are doing something simple that could save a life.

They’re talking with classmates about distracted driving, asking them to sign Hunter’s Pledge, and encouraging each other to make safer choices behind the wheel.

It’s students leading students — one conversation, one pledge, and one safer decision at a time.

Students Leading the Way

Across campus, students, including members of Phi Kappa Psi, are giving their time to make Safe Driving Week happen.

They’re setting up tables, starting conversations, asking classmates to take the Safe Driving Pledge, and reminding friends how quickly a distraction behind the wheel can change a life.

This is a student-led effort, and support from people like you helps make it stronger.

Why We Do This

Hunter Watson was a college student with a big future ahead of him.

He was curious, creative, entrepreneurial, and always looking toward what might come next. But Hunter’s life was cut short when he was killed as a passenger in a distracted driving accident.

His family and friends created Hunter’s Fund so his story could continue to make a difference.

Today, college students across the country are carrying that mission forward by encouraging their classmates to drive distraction-free. Each year, more than 1,400 student volunteers help share the dangers of distracted driving and ask their classmates to sign Hunter’s Pledge.

This week, St. Joseph's University students are part of that story.

A Simple Pledge Can Matter

Most crashes aren’t random. They often come down to small decisions made in seconds.

Every year, more than 40,000 people lose their lives in car accidents in the United States, and many of these tragedies are preventable.

Research cited by Hunter’s Fund shows that signing a pledge can change behavior by up to 47%.

That’s why students are asking their classmates to make one simple commitment:

Don’t drive distracted.

Be Part of St. Joseph's University's Safe Driving Week

You can help in whatever way feels right to you.

Help Students Reach More People

SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN

Your gift helps students bring the Safe Driving message to more classmates and helps Hunter’s Fund support Safe Driving Weeks on campuses across the country.

Every gift, large or small, helps students turn conversations into safer choices.

One Conversation Can Matter

Safe Driving Week isn’t just about what happens at a table on campus.

It’s about the decision a student makes later — when the phone buzzes, a message arrives, and they choose to wait.

Every student who makes that choice makes the road a little safer for everyone.

Thank you for helping St. Joseph's University students lead the way.
