The Camellia Center coordinates events with a variety of national awareness months related to interpersonal violence.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Each October, the Camellia Center recognizes Dating and Domestic Violence Awareness by hosting a variety of educational programs. Past events have included a candle-light vigil honoring victims and survivors, student-led panels on media portrayals of domestic violence, and relevant film screenings.
Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Each April, the Camellia Center recognizes Sexual Assault Awareness by hosting a variety of educational programs. Take Back the Night events are held across the country to unify communities to take a stand against gender based violence. Our Wounded Hearts art exhibit offers visual testimony to the impact of violence in our lives. Survivors and those who work with them are invited to use wooden hearts as vehicles of expression and healing. This inspiring exhibit invites everyone to bear witness and honor the healing power of the human heart. In April 2023, the Camellia Center developed a new signature event, Survivors Bloom from Within, that offers mindfulness activities and information about a variety of campus and community resources that can be helpful to survivors of interpersonal violence.
