Join us on October 29th for Lauren’s Promise, an at-your-own-pace walk-style event on the Oval in observance of Domestic Violence Action Month. From 4-6 p.m., we invite our community to walk around the Oval, read some information posted along the way, and then, at the end, take a bystander pledge to receive an enamel pin made specifically for this event. We will also have light refreshments throughout the event and informational tables from campus and community resources.
- 4-6 pm is independent - walk on your own or bring friends and walk together!
-
At 6 pm, we will do a vigil-style walk in remembrance of Lauren McCluskey, who was the victim of domestic violence and stalking. Read more about Lauren and the Lauren McCluskey Foundation here!
