The Tell Team presents valuable information to students, staff, and faculty on healthy, safe dating. A Candlelight Vigil will follow to honor victims of Domestic Violence, as a part of Domestic Violence Month.
October is Domestic Violence Month, and dating violence is one form of this problem. Violence within steady relationships and casual dating is more common than most people realize among college students. The Tell Team provides students staff and faculty with information on what defines dating violence and the effects it has on both victim and perpetrator. Ways to have fun, stay safe, and look out for one another will also be discussed.
A panel of campus professionals from Public Safety, Student Health Center, Campus Ministry, Residence Life, and the Counseling Center will present the resources available for prevention, reporting, and support.
After the presentation has concluded, a candle light vigil will be held in the Kassab Mall, to honor victims of domestic violence.
Since lunch is only 1 hour long, this class gets right to point with a 20 minute core workout. Get in, get out, and get on with your day!

We'll have a viewing of the documentary, "Precious Knowledge," about the Mexican-American Studies program in Arizona high schools that was recently banned under Arizona law.
To discuss the film and the educational program will be Dr. Chiara Cannella, who worked with students in the program. She is an Assistant Professor of Teacher Education at Fort Lewis College. Her work focuses on cultural diversity in education as well as socio-cultural perspectives on schooling. Her current research addresses educational equity for marginalized students. Through participatory action research in schools, she collaborates with students to construct stronger civic and social identities.
She has been active in the Council on Anthropology and Education and a co-principal investigator for the Research Collaborative on Youth Activism. She spent several years working with the Social Justice Education Project in the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD), studying how various programs affect students' academic and social identities. Dr. Cannella worked in TUSD's controversial Mexican American Studies classes from 2006-2008 and maintains connection with program graduates, teachers, and administrators. A forthcoming publication, "Food and Water: The Nourishment of a Humanizing Pedagogy," details the program's curriculum design and pedagogy, as well as their effects on students' shifts in academic engagement and social agency.
This event is sponsored by the James Carney Latin American Solidarity Archive (CLASA). Programs are free and open to the public, and are held at UDM's McNichols Campus (4001 W McNichols at Livernois).
