In honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week we?re asking students to donate their old or unwanted jeans for a good cause when they return from winter break.
Donations are open to faculty, staff and students. Bring those jeans back after winter break!
Students who donate jeans will be entered into a raffle to win prizes and all jeans will be donated to local charities.
National Eating Disorders Awareness Week runs from February 26-March 3, 2012. The Body Image Peer Educators will be conducting a number of great events to raise awareness:
