This semester the Leadership Concentration is working with Above + Beyond Cancer. Cancer affects people from all walks of life, including college age people. About 4% of all cancer diagnoses are in people aged 20 to 39, according to the American Cancer Society. The LEAD class, along with Above + Beyond Cancer, is working to promote awareness of cancer and the effect that it has on college students. They are doing this through the use of prayer flags. Prayer flags come from the Tibetan culture and are used to carry loved ones’ prayers with the wind. To help showcase this, LEAD will be hanging flags around campus on Nov. 26. If anyone wishes to create a flag, LEAD will be tabling in Helmick Commons and the Olmsted Breezeway Nov. 5 through Nov. 9 from 8 a.m.–12 p.m. If there are any questions, please contact Kathryn Gaito at kathryn.gaito@drake.edu.
