The day Dragons went YELLOW
September 10th was World Suicide Awareness Day and to show support students were asked to wear the color yellow.
The results were personally moving, as I walked around campus pops of yellow stuck out like a sign of hope for those who can relate to this issue in an all too real way.
This was the 3rd year MSUM has shown their support on this day, campus wide. The Wellness Educators organize the day by putting out signs to remind students to wear yellow and if you happen to forget they set up tables with yellow wristbands so you can still show your support! 
The tables also featured suicide statistics and some takeaway information if you knew someone in need of help. The overall goal was to simply shed some light on a typically dark issue!
All things said and done, you did a good job going yellow Dragons, but don’t forget, this isn’t just a one day issue! Don’t be afraid to talk to someone, this is a Dragon FAMILY after all 🙂
