Education Event Tonight!

Our class is a co-sponsor (and the PR team) for tonight's domestic violence education event on campus. Join us at 8pm in Daniel 100 to learn about Safe Harbor's mission and how to help yourself or a friend in an unhealthy relationship.

Professional Meets Personal

It is hard for a class that is handling such a difficult issue like domestic violence to not get personal. It's even harder when a incidence of violence occurs in our community. I posted about this on my personal blog, as well as some of my feelings about this class, if you'd like to take a look. Thank you, students, for taking on such an important issue.

A Break Well Deserved

It's Fall Break for Clemson, so the students are all taking a few days off to relax and recoup. I wanted to take this moment to thank them for their hard work and dedication to this class. Homecoming was a great success; Chick-Fil-A, while not as big of an event as we had hoped, brought in money and attendance that pleased Safe Harbor; and the plans for a campus education event on Oct. 25 are coming together wonderfully. It has been so exciting to watch the class come up with their own projects and execute them with professionalism and passion. Thanks for a great first half of the semester, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what we all will accomplish next.

Eat at Chick-fil-A!

Clemson-area folks: please eat at the Clemson Chick-fil-A tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 5, between 5 and 9pm. Tell the cashier you are there to support Safe Harbor, and a percentage of the proceeds will go to Safe Harbor. The more people who attend, the higher the percentage of sales go to Safe Harbor, so please come eat with us!

The class has done a great job getting the word out about this event. Their Facebook event went to about 1200 people, and I've seen plenty of Tweets and emails going around. We hope this is a successful start to Safe Harbor's month of raising awareness and funds during October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
