Millennium Fellowship Project: Empowered Voices: Domestic Violence Awareness
Empowered Voices is a student-led initiative that is committed to reducing inequalities by raising awareness about domestic violence and ensuring that all students have access to supportive, inclusive, & informed resources. Our mission is to educate our community, promote safety, & foster an environment where every student knows how to recognize, respond to, & support others impacted by domestic violence. Our primary project involves creating and displaying Domestic Violence Toolkits across campus. These toolkits will be able to provide clear, accessible information about warning signs, support services, and safe response strategies. This effort aims to promote equality, compassion, & action across campus.
