October Domestic Violence Awareness Month Activities (begins 10/14)

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This year our campus will be participating in the national "Week Without Violence." Staff from the UH Women's Center and YWCA of Kaua`i will be present to run violence awareness and education activities in the LRC Lobby + Courtyard on Monday , October 14 & Tuesday, October 15 from 9am-1pm. You can participate now in one of these activities by going to: PurplePurse.com and entering the code: 01090. Each time the code is entered $5 will be donated to our local YWCA of Kaua`i by Allstate Insurance.

The following week on Wednesday, October 23 from 11am-1pm, our campus PAU Violence Kaua`i Committee, with support from our ASUH-KCC Student Government, will be hosting our very first "Breaking the Silence" Open Mic Event + Mini Resource Fair. Students, Faculty, Staff, and Community Members are encouraged to attend and participate. In particular, some of our Campus Security will be performing. This is another way for us to introduce ourselves and let you know that we are resources here on campus for you.
