Students address depression
By Katie Arrants | March 21, 2002Yellow ribbons will be distributed around Grounds next week as part of a student-initiated campaign to promote awareness of suicide and depression. Known as "Lifting the Darkness," the week-long initiative will commence for the first time Monday and include the distribution of yellow ribbons and information cards, a panel discussion and free depression screening by University Counseling and Psychological Services. A vigil for those whose lives have been affected by depression or suicide will conclude the week's activities next Thursday night. Participants in the vigil will meet at the Aquatic and Fitness Center, from which point they will walk in darkness to the Rotunda.
