October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As part of Spirit Week organized by the Penn State University Athletic Conference’s student-athlete advisory council, Brandywine Athletics chose to raise awareness of domestic abuse. Brandywine softball players Kaylee Mushinski, April Lewandowski and Karly Rees collected donations at campus soccer and volleyball games to benefit the Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County.
Penn State Brandywine students held a rally on Oct. 11 to affirm their commitment to a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus community. The rally was in response to recent speech on campus by persons not affiliated with Penn State that was hateful and not in keeping with Brandywine’s values. Student Government President Jessica Gore (front left) led the march across campus with support from the Office of Residence Life and the Center for Social Impact.
