Wednesday, February 25 is Pink Shirt Day, a day to take a stand against bullying. 

Pink Shirt Day dates back to 2007, when a ninth grade Nova Scotia boy was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Two of his classmates organized a schoolwide protest, asking all students, teachers and staff to wear pink in solidarity and to demonstrate there is no place for bullying. 

Since then, Pink Shirt Day has been observed nationally to remind as all to take a stand against bullying. The day encourages us to foster a kinder, more inclusive world by raising awareness and funds for anti-bullying initiatives. 

Show your solidarity this Wednesday by wearing a pink shirt – you can purchase one from the Campus Store!
