Dear Professor Downey,My name is Aly and I am the outreach coordinator for PAVE (promoting awareness, victim empowerment)! October is Dating/ Domestic Violence Awareness Month and we are hosting a variety of events to inform students about dating violence.We will be running a specialized workshop on dating/ domestic violence in the media on October 13th, hosting The Yellow Dress Program as our Keynote on October 19th, and holding a screening of the film "Waitress" on October 25th. (As of now, locations are undetermined).The Yellow Dress Program is a one woman theatrical act based on the experiences of a woman in an abusive relationship. The evening will consist of half an hour of performance and half an hour of discussion.Here are links to the Keynote website and the trailer for Waitress.I am contacting you to ask that you pass these opportunities on to your students.
