OWI: A Powerful Lesson

Mark Sterner was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity at a college in Rhode Island when he and four fraternity brothers took off for spring break. They took along their video camera to capture their trip to Florida. On the final night of the break, with an intoxicated Mark at the wheel, the five men were in a fatal accident. Three of the men were killed. The video camera was rolling until 15 minutes before the accident. In addition to suffering serious injuries, Mark was sentenced to 23 months in a Florida prison for three felony counts. While serving his time, he spoke to over 100,000 students. Upon his release he began to speak nationwide about the dangers of drinking and driving and poor decision- making. He will be showing the video taken the night of the accident.
