Hey ladies, One of our big WAM events, Take Back the Night, is coming up next Tuesday. I think this is one of the most important events held on campus all year. Read below for more information, and I hope to see some of you there! :) -- hp What: Take Back the Night When: Tuesday March 11, 2008 Time: 8 p.m. Where: Georgia Tech Campanile "When we lean on one another, we all stand stronger" Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff, Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted... Only by discussing the causes and effects of this issue will we be able to make an impact and help the victims. Please join us for Take Back the Night, an evening to raise awareness and educate the Georgia Tech community about sexual violence. The evening will include survivor stories, poems, information about resources from the Women’s Resource Center, the Georgia Tech Counseling Center and Police Department, a performance by the GIFTED Gospel Choir, and a candle lighting ceremony. A reception will follow on the Campanile. Join us at 8 p.m. at the Campanile to 'break the silence and end the violence'. Also, we will sell T-shirts at the event for $10. All proceeds will go to the Piedmont Rape Crisis Center to directly support survivors and educate the community about sexual violence. Please bring cash, a check, or your buzzcard if you wish to purchase a T-shirt. Please contact Caitie Gold at cgold(a)gatech.edu if you have any questions!

Hello girls! The sign up for our Relay For Life team is forwarded with this message. If you are interested with helping with Relay For Life, our event's Chair for the event will be Jennifer Whitlow. Feel free to email her at jennifer.whitlow(a)gatech.edu if you have any questions. Thanks, -- Candis Pham Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jennifer Whitlow <onlineeventsupport(a)cancer.org> Date: Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 2:27 PM Subject: Join Me in Making A Difference! To: touching.the.sky(a)gmail.com [image: RFL email header] Whether it's a friend, family member, or neighbor down the street, we all know someone who has been touched by cancer. Many of us are concerned about this disease and want to do something to make a difference. That's why I've decided to take part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life(R) . It's an event that brings together the whole community and helps raise funds for the fight against this disease. I know you care about cancer, too, and I'd love for you to join me as part of my Relay team. At the event, we'll camp out overnight, walk around the track, and meet lots of new people. There is an incredible tribute to cancer survivors and caregivers that starts off the night and a moving ceremony honoring those who have fought the disease. I can truly say Relay is unlike anything else you'll ever do. It's a night full of fun, hope, and remembrance. You can get more information about Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society by clicking the link below. Won't you join me in this fight?

[UWAB] Relay For Life- CCB team!!
by Candis Pham 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hello everyone! We're looking for participants to form a College of Computing- Student Organizations team in the annual Relay For Life event! The event will be the night of Friday, April 11, 2008 at the CRC field. Relay For Life(R), the American Cancer Society's signature event, is a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life (R) events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease. If you would like to help out, please let me know by e-mailing me by TOMORROW evening (Thursday, March 6, 2008). This is really an awesome event for a great cause. For more information, please visit http://www.relay.gatech.edu/ or http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeSouthAtlanticDi…. -- Candis Pham Women@CC- Chair Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media
