October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). Prevention is not only about recognizing warning signs. It is also about strengthening protective factors that help keep our community safe and thriving.Wellness Walks are more than just a chance to get some fresh air. They connect directly to the Relationship Violence & Sexual Assault Prevention program’s mission of fostering a safer, more supportive campus. The CDC reminds us that protective factors help reduce the risk of violence by strengthening the wellbeing of individuals and communities. https://www.cdc.gov/sexual-violence/risk-factors/index.htmlThrough Wellness Walks, we focus on three key protective factors:Emotional Health and Connectedness: Taking a break to walk together can ease stress, boost mood, and remind us that we are part of a caring community.Academic Achievement: Making time for self-care helps us recharge, which supports balance, focus, and success inside and outside the classroom.Empathy and Concern for Others: Sharing this space encourages us to slow down, connect, and recognize how our actions and care for one another shape a safer campus.When we walk together, we build the kind of supportive environment that helps prevent violence and allows everyone to thrive. Join us every Tuesday in October from 1–1:30 p.m. at the UC Mall outside Ransom Hall. All students, faculty, and staff are invited!

Dance and public performance are two elements of human society that span across all cultures and peoples of the globe. This system of cultural expression often consists of detailed choreography and elaborate costumes, uniting our communities through shared connections and ritual presentation.For Latin America, dance is interwoven throughout the tapestry of their historical traditions. Beginning with the indigenous cultures of the Aztec, Inca, Maya, and Olmec, their celebratory carnivals and festivals evolved under the influence of European and African dance traditions to incorporate not only celebrational experiences but also used for expressions of faith, mourning, and even resistance.On view for the fall 2025 semester are a series of vibrantly painted and intricately decorated masks and dance costumes from Bolivia, Guatemala, and Mexico. They represent Latin America’s wide breadth of historical dance and parade traditions, ranging from the Bailé de los Animales to the annual Carnaval.Please join us throughout the semester to celebrate these works and their expressions of beauty, creativity, and connection through dance.It will be open Monday, September 8 – Thursday, November 20; 9am – 5pm.
