Safer Events
October
is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness month and Safer is
striving to educate our campus as much as possible on the relevance of this
topic. Their goal for this month is to reach as wide an audience on this
campus as possible in order to spark motivation for taking action against
this issue.
This
Thursday, October 11th 11AM-12PM on Dexter Lawn, Safer is hosting a Tacos &
Tie Dye pop-up in which we will reward students who complete our "Stand up
to Domestic Violence" challenge with free food and a shirt to
tie-dye.
Saturday,
October 20th 11AM-3PM in the M.A.C. Safer is hosting a Self-Care Summit. The
summit includes free self-care activities and materials, speakers from Campus
Health and Well-Being and Transitions Mental Health Association, and various
campus partners. Seminars include therapeutic yoga, understanding trauma and
how to heal, constructing a self-care practice, and nutritional techniques to
personal health. This event is a great opportunity for students and staff to
unwind.
