“Happiness is nothing more than good
health and a bad memory.”
- Albert Schweitzer
Social Justice Corner Jayhawk Buddy System Hello KU
Hola! My name is Kelly.
This month I’d like to bring awareness to
Native American Heritage Month! Tribes
such as the Kaw, Ioway, Kickapoo,
Potawatomi, and Na Me Ha Ha Ki tribes were
all located here in the Lawrence area prior to
the colonization of the United States. It’s
important that we recognize and honor the
traditions and history of the people that we
as a nation have forgotten due to our
ignorance and history of discrimination of
indigenous peoples. Here are a few tasks I
ask that KU students take upon themselves in
order to learn more about the Native
American history of Lawrence:
Visit the Haskell Museum/Cultural Center
DONATE to the Haskell Foundation
Visit Haskell Campus in general!
Go to a sporting or cultural event! Purchase and rep Haskell University
merch to show your support for the
University.
I encourage us all to do at least one of these
tasks by the end of November!
-Kelly Marie Ramirez
Breast cancer awareness month may be over,
but the fight against cancer is ongoing. This
month, you can help raise awareness for
prostate and testicular cancer by
participating in Movember.
Movember is a movement that encourages
men to grow out their facial hair throughout
November in an effort to raise money and
awareness for male reproductive cancers and
mental health.
Every hour, 60 men lose their lives to suicide.
Prostate cancer is another leading cause of
death for men, with 192,443 new cases of
prostate cancer being reported in 2016 alone
(CDC). Male reproductive cancers and
mental health can be difficult subjects, but
Movember gives us an opportunity to open
up these conversations.
In addition to being a perfect time to raise
awareness for men’s health, November is also
a great time to get your flu shot! You can get
yours at Watkins Memorial Health Center by
appointment, or on a walk-in basis.
