Good Morning All:<br>
<br>
As you may already know, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Today between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. The Campus Violence Prevention
Project will be in the center of campus with DV Awareness information.
Come get your purple ribbon and take the pledge. I encourage you to
wear your ribbon all month. This year, I've selected two themes for our
awareness program: <b>"These HANDS are NOT for Hurting"</b> and <b>"Taking
STEPS to END Violence." </b> Come out and take the pledge by signing
your name to hand and foot print. These prints will be placed on our
Violence Awareness Posters and placed around campus. We have prizes,
come guess the number of jelly beans or fire balls and win. Dr. Smith
will be at the clock tower at 1:30 to place the purple ribbon and sign
the proclamation for Domestic Violence. The red shilouettes that will
be all around the clock tower and front lawn will have the names and
dates of death of Oklahoma victims of Domestic Violence. Some will
have information and statistics as well. Later this month the red
shilouettes will return to the front lawn with actual stories of
deceased victims of DV and the legal status of their perpetrator.
There are a number of handouts available on domestic violence, how to
help others, protective orders, internet safety. As always we have
refreshments (purple kool-aid, cookies, donuts and candy).<br>
<br>
P.S. This has to be the first time I've ever planned an event and the
weather be on my side. It is a beautiful day and I encourage you to
join me around the clock tower and Take A Stand Against Violence.<br>
<br>
If you need any information or desire assistance please drop by my
office located on the first floor of Miller Hall. Have a great day and
hope to see at the program.<br>
