Flowers on the Lake

An event to honor and remember domestic violence victims and survivors at University of Southern Indiana Reflection Lake.

October 16, 2014, 4:30 p.m.

Please join the USI Sexual Assault and Gender Violence Prevention Group as we honor those individuals, whose lives have been shattered by domestic violence, including the 67 Hoosiers, 5 of which were Vanderburgh County residents, who died last year.  Participants will meet in front of the Liberal Arts Building, where a short program will be held.  We will silently walk to Reflection Lake.  Participants will then release flowers into the lake in memory of victims and survivors of domestic violence.

Please wear purple to this event in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month!  The purpose of this month is to remember those individuals who have lost their lives due to domestic violence, to celebrate those who have survived and to connect the community to those who work to end the violence.  This event will be rain or shine.  In the event of rain the event will be in Mitchell auditorium.
