Upcoming Fall Events

A quick reminder that we do have a few fall semester events coming up that are of interest to everyone. 

Joplin Clothes Drive

Joplin winter clothes drive is still going on.  Just drop off any winter clothes you no longer sport in Farah's office.  A pair of KU/K-State student tickets are being raffled.  Dr. Stottlemire is in the lead for donations so far, but isn't in it for the tickets, so you could still win!

SWAG World AIDS Day Planning

On Wednesday, 10/19, the Student World AIDS Group will be hosting a meeting in preparation for World AIDS Day.  We need to plan speakers, activities, meals, etc.  Anyone interested needs to come to the Calkins Conference Room at noon.  RSVP to swag@kumc.edu if you want a FREE LUNCH.

                                                                        

The Interrupters

MPHSO encourages everyone to see the new film The Interrupters, which is coming to the Tivoli soon. Check out the trailer for the movie - http://interrupters.kartemquin.com/.

The film documents the success of a violence prevention intervention, designed by an epidemiologist, Gary Slutkin.  Read coverage of Slutkin's work - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/04/magazine/04health-t.html.

The film is only playing from October 21-27 at the Tivoli Theater in Westport.  An advanced screening will be shown to the public on October 20 at 6:30, hosted by Aim4Peace, a local violence prevention program based out of KCMO.
