Interested in participating in a campus-wide discussion concerning Domestic Violence? A Domestic Violence Symposium will take place on Thursday, March 8thfrom 5:45pm-8:30 pm in the Third Floor Art Gallery of the SCC. The goal of this symposium is to create a dialogue amongst the Brandeis and greater Waltham community to discuss community response to domestic violence. We will have faculty and community members speaking on a panel discussion followed by reflection activities. After the reflection period, we hope to display posters created by students that focus on domestic violence with resources available. Hope to see you all there!
