MVSU to raise domestic violence, breast cancer awareness

 

ITTA BENA-- Few people are aware that October doubles as Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness month. Mississippi Valley State University’s Department of Social Work is working to change that by bringing awareness to both causes with two special events.

The Department has teamed up with the MVSU Social Work Club and the Alpha Delta Honor Society to host its 4th annual “Domestic Violence Awareness Walk” and its 3rd annual “Pink Out” event, designed to raise awareness about breast cancer.
