NEDA Week - National Eating Disorders Awareness Week!!!!!

February 22-28th is the National Eating Disorders Awareness Week or NEDAwareness Week!!  What great celebrations that many of our readers are a part of and/or help organize!!!

Our of our favorite students - Lee, of the ever-famous blog - For the Love of Peanut Butter - organized (along with the women's organization at St Joseph's University) great events, including:

 - An Art Exhibit

 - A 'Speak Out Session'

 - A 'College Cook-Off' that features some of her yummy oatmeal recipes!

Also check out her blog for the beautiful poster that she designed for the events.

Abby, at American University, sent us this message:

American University is kicking off a week-long Body Image Awareness Campaign beginning on February 23 and continuing through the 27...the same week as NEDA's official National Eating Disorders Awareness Week! 

Mandi, of Christian Brothers University, sent us this message:

A Candlelight Service will be held tomorrow, weather-permitting, in the Quad at 8 P.M. Hope you all can make it! Stop by our table in the cafeteria during lunch to get a ribbon in solidarity with all those impacted by Eating Disorders.

Is your university or school sponsoring a program?  Let us know!!

Also, if no events are sponsored at your school, us this time to look at what other universities are doing and figure how you can incorporate these into your schedule next year OR anytime during the school year.
