[Eoscstudents] Domestic Violence Awareness Month

[Levenia Carey]

Good Morning All:

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:  "These HANDS are NOT for Hurting" and "Taking STEPS 
to END Violence."  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).

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.

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.
