The Nick Project is Millikin's annual fire safety drive provides fraternities, sororities, & off-campus students with free fire safety equipment to help students plan to be safe. Students who live off-campus and in approved Greek chapter facilities are strongly encouraged to attend and enter the drawing as well as pick up free equipment.
The event will feature extinguisher demonstrations from CC Fire Equipment and speakers with local fire personnel about fire prevention and how to take quick action if there is an emergency. Millikin continues to partner with long-time supporter Libby’s Ace Hardware in Mt. Zion to support the giveaway of fire safety items. While fire safety items are reserved for students, the event will be open to the public to attend.
Fire safety and prevention continue to be priorities in Millikin's residential spaces and is highlighted several times each year.
