Domestic Violence and Abuse Awareness Day
The Presidential Commission on Sexual Harassment Prevention & Education and the Office of Social Equity sponsor an annual Domestic Violence and Abuse Awareness Day. The event hopes to not only offer resources from Clarion and surrounding counties but, additionally, to provide information that domestic violence is not limited to acts of physical violence. Through various art forms, Clarion University students and staff have represented physical, emotional and financial abuse.
