Zombie apocalypse on campus tomorrow?

Well, kind of. A "zombie apocalypse" exercise set for Tuesday is designed to make students in the Ann Arbor university's School of Public Health contemplate likely scenarios in disasters and the appropriate response. The exercise is modeled after a curriculum designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's to include students dressing up as the undead. Epidemiology professor Dr. Eden Wells says "using zombie preparedness" is "becoming a fun way to educate the public and train public health practitioners." In addition to students, the Michigan Department of Community Health is participating in Tuesday's event. ------Online: School of Public Health zombie apocalypse site: http://sph.umich.edu/zombie/

Knowing that it's finals week, is now a good time for this exercise?

This doesn't seem like a colossal waste of time and resources at all.

as a good thing. I love good Zombie movies/shows like some others, but doing this is pretty dumb in my opinion. Is it so hard to name a realistic apocolytic threat? Like Coach Crean having an episode or something?
