Domestic Violence Awareness Event

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so it is a special time of year for this talk. Maria A. Turkson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Teaching Psychology and licensed psychologist, will present a summary of domestic violence research and facilitate discussion through interaction and short videos.

The event is open to all students and the general public (parking is free during the event). Attendees are encouraged to wear something purple, such as a hat, scarf, shirt etc. to symbolize domestic violence awareness as well as the unity that is required to make social change. Wearing purple clothing is voluntary and is not intended to impose a barrier to attending. Park in the Olmsted lots (free parking during the event).
