Marquette University really impressed us with their creativity and planning. Along with our backpacks, their chapter made some great signs that were placed throughout the bags to emphasize our message of awareness as students and faculty walked to and from classes.

They also had a couple of great interactive tables set up. One was their own version of Post Secret, where students could share anonymously with others.

Another addition to the display were honor beads. Students and faculty were welcomed to take beads of different colors to share their personal connection to suicide, even if it was just to support the cause.

White: Lost a child

Red: Lost a spouse or partner

Gold: Lost a parent

Orange: Lost a sibling

Green: Personal struggle

Purple: Lost a relative or friend

Blue: Supporting suicide prevention

At the end of the day we were honored to be visited by Father Charles Rubey who organizes the LOSS program.

If you attended this display, please take a moment to complete a survey, thank you.
