National Eating Disorders Awareness Week Feb 23-Mar 1, 2015

This year National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is being held from February 23rd to March 1st.

(#NEDAwareness Week)

www.healingtn.org

It is a week to spread awareness of the “seriousness of eating disorders and to improve public understanding of their causes, triggers and treatments. By increasing awareness and access to resources, we can encourage early detection and intervention, which can improve the likelihood of full recovery for millions.”  (http://nedawareness.org/about-nedawareness)

This years theme is: I Had No Idea. It stresses how important it is to intervene early and recognize the wide range of people affected by eating disorders. Many significant early signs are overlooked, ” I Had No Idea”. For each day of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, they target a different audience and share specific education, resources, information, and provide help. A key goal of #NEDAwareness Week is to direct individuals to a free online screening for eating disorders at www.MyBodyScreening.org.

NEDA has information and resources available via their website and helpline: www.NationalEatingDisorders.org NEDA Helpline: 1 (800) 931-2237

National Condom Day – February 14th

National Condom Day is celebrated each year to remind us that it is an easy way to watch your health! National Condom Day originated from an AIDS support group during the late 1980’s.

A condom is a cheap, easily found form of contraception that protects not only against pregnancy, but also against many sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS. National Condom Day is used to emphasize the importance of educating young adults about the risks of unprotected sex.

It’s National Wear Red Day!

http://www.folksdaily.com/national-wear-red-day-2015/

Pledge to wear Red! February 6, 2015!

February is American Heart Month and to raise awareness, February 6th, we wear red!

Wearing the color red represents strength, joy, and power and symbolizes the fight against heart disease in women.

• One in three women die of heart disease or stroke every year
• Education and lifestyle changes can prevent 80 percent of cardiac events

Go Red For Women! It’s important that we raise awareness that heart disease is not just a man’s disease and to stop and honor those who are struggling with heart disease. We also want to celebrate the advances we’ve seen over the years against heart disease and stroke.

To learn more about American heart month and what you can do to raise awareness, visit: http://blog.heart.org/red-sweeps-nation-month-support-womens-heart-health/

 

MSUM Student Academic Conference

The 2015 Student Academic Conference here at Minnesota State University Moorhead will be held on Tuesday, April 14th, 2015 in the Comstock Memorial Union building.

According to the history of the Student Academic Conference put together by Dr. Paul Kramer (Political Science) and Brian M. Card:

Minnesota State University Moorhead’s Student Academic Conference provides student researchers from each of its colleges with the opportunity to present their work to faculty, administration, peers, and the general public in a formal academic setting. The Conference has grown exponentially over the past eight years to become one of MSUM’s most eagerly anticipated annual events.

The Conference was conceived in 1998 through the collaborative efforts of Political Science professor Andrew Conteh and his then student-assistant Ryan Sylvester, who envisioned a forum for students to present original research that would reflect the intellectual vibrancy of the MSUM community. As the format of the proposed Conference took shape, Dr. Conteh and Ryan jointly advocated its relevance to the University’s top administrators who expressed both excitement and support for the concept. The enthusiastic participation of both faculty and administration has been a hallmark of the Conference since its inception and remains perhaps its most obvious source of continued success.

The deadline to participate in the conference is Monday, March 2nd.

For further information, you can visit the Student Academic Webpage at http://www.mnstate.edu/sac/
