Empty Place at the Table campaign coming to Drake

On Wednesday, Oct. 28, the Violence Intervention Partner team will bring the Empty Place at the Table campaign to Drake in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As part of the campaign, chairs will be marked off with caution tape in the Hubbell/Quad dining areas and a variety of classrooms around campus as a representation of students on college campuses who must drop out of school due to the long-lasting effects of domestic and dating violence. There will be a short note written on the chalkboard/whiteboard of every classroom explaining the campaign as well.

Please send any questions to alysa.mozak@drake.edu.
