Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people were freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday.

Shoutout to the 2024 Outstanding Student Leader, Demadelye Navarro!! 🏆🎊 She is graduating with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with a minor in Psychology. And breaking news, she will also serve as the 2024 Student Speaker at the Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony. Tonight, in the presence of her family, she recieved her award at Honors Convocation. 🎊❤️💛

This award is presented to a graduating senior who has demonstrated excellent leadership skills and provided service to the GMercyU community. The individual selected to receive this award has served in both elected and non-elected positions across a variety of co-curricular activities. 🎉

Across campus, Demadelye is a student leader, serving as a member, Vice President and, most recently, President of Black Student Union. She also served as Treasurer of Student Government Association from 2022 to 2024 and Treasurer of Student Activities Committee from 2022 to 2024.✨️

In addition to her on-campus involvement, Demadelye engaged in several service opportunities including Alternative Spring Break in Baltimore, Maryland in 2023, organized a period poverty donation drive and a personal hygiene drive for individuals experiencing homelessness in Norristown, donated more than 200 products to Colonial Area Anti-Racism & Social Equity Alliance (CAARSEA), and the packed and distributed care packages for Broad Street Ministries. In summer 2024, Demadelye traveled with classmates to Jamaica’s Mustard Seed Communities. 🙏

After graduating, Demadelye plans to rest and prepare for the NCLEX. Once she is a registered nurse, she plans to provide quality patient care and to continue efforts to make healthcare more accessible to patients with limited English proficiency in the community and inpatient settings. Her long-term goal is to return to Puerto Rico to open her own community health center. CONGRATS, DEMADELYE! 💛❤️

Denim Day 2024 is April 24th!

Since 1999, Peace Over Violence has run an inspiring and powerful opportunity to practice solidarity and support survivors by renewing our commitment to exposing harmful behaviors and attitudes surrounding sexual violence. Denim Day is a campaign on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a r**e conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who r**ed her remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in response to this case and the activism surrounding it. Since then, what started as a local campaign to bring awareness to victim blaming and destructive myths that surround sexual violence has grown into a movement. As the longest running sexual violence prevention and education campaign in history, Denim Day asks community members, elected officials, businesses and students to make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.
