Survive summer at the ESCAPE room

UTA’s ESCAPE room—short for Experiential Scenarios for Collaborative and Practical Education—is hosting a session called “Episode 1: Sizzle & Survive—The Summer Safety Escape.”

 

Located on the first floor of the School of Social Work and Smart Hospital building, the immersive space guides participants through common summer scenarios—like setting off fireworks or attending pool parties, cookouts and other mosquito-filled gatherings on hot, humid North Texas evenings—that can quickly turn dangerous without proper precautions.

 

Stop by so summer fun doesn't land you in the ER.
