Part of Appalachian’s Health, Wellness and Safety Week

Legendsmap
Free event

The Glow Run, a nighttime “fun run” organized by Appalachian’s Wellness and Prevention Services and co-sponsored by the Department of Student Engagement and Leadership, honors the memory of Appalachian alumna Leigh Cooper Wallace ’92, who was a member of Appalachian’s track team, a lifelong runner and an advocate and spokesperson for victims of interpersonal violence. Runners and walkers will be provided glow sticks to carry as a symbol of support for a violence-free campus and to remember Wallace’s words: “We are stronger than we think.”

A student dance in Legends will follow the Glow Run. During the dance, tables will be set up with information and resources about violence prevention and intervention.
