Awareness Months

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. UNT recognizes this time and acknowledges how domestic violence impacts our campus community. We are committed to annually hosting programs that spread awareness, educate on healthy relationship practices, and provide information on support available to individuals impacted by domestic violence.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2024 Recap

EO/TIX held multiple tabling events around the Denton and Frisco campuses providing information on bystander intervention, healthy relationships, and on-campus resources during DVAM 2024.

EO/TIX also coordinated Purple Prom in collaboration with the Dean of Students Office, Student Health and Wellness Center, and University Program Council. Purple Prom is a recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and a celebration of healthy relationship values. All attendees were encouraged to bring hygiene items or shelf stable food to donate to Denton County Friends of the Family's Domestic Violence Shelter.
