Among other initiatives, October is also recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) evolved from the “Day of Unity” in October 1981 conceived by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
During DVAM, victim advocates, allied professionals, survivors of abuse, their loved ones, and the surrounding community come together to mourn the lives lost to domestic violence, celebrate the progress that has been made to end this epidemic, and connect with others working to create change.
Our campus is working together to create change through prevention and education efforts made by the Sexual Harassment and Assault Resources & Education (SHARE) through the year but recognizes October as an opportunity to stand together with the nation. Please see the list of event opportunities below to stand with us and SHARE against sexual violence. Questions regarding events and/or accommodation requests should be made directly to Sara Holtzman at holtzmas@Lawrence.edu. More information may be found on SHARE’s Website, the IDEAS Division Website, and on the LU Calendar.

We invite our campus community to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! Each year, September 15-October 15, we joyously commemorate the histories, cultures, contributions, and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latin Americans past and present.
In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson led the first observance of Hispanic Heritage Week, which was expanded to 30 days in 1988 under President Ronald Reagan. Further, we celebrate the independence of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua on September 15 and of Mexico on September 16.
This year’s theme, Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America, recognizes the leadership of Americans of Hispanic and Latinx ancestry in the economic, political, and social progress of the United States. As a campus community, we value inclusion and belonging and the celebration of each member of our Lawrence family. We are immeasurably appreciative for the contributions of Lawrentians of Hispanic/Latinx descent and stand in community and celebration this month and every month.
