Du take a stand against domestic violence Students and staff join forces ahead of Domestic Violence Action Week by Anna Petersen News Editor and Graphic Designer
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, presenting another opportunity for people to stand together in calling for awareness and change. This month includes countless campaigns and projects by groups such as The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV). As found on their website, NNEDV is participating in the campaign “Beyond the Buzzwords.”
Starting Monday, Oct. 1, each day will focus on a word related to domestic violence and go further into its meaning to understand what these words mean to our society, including those who have experienced domestic violence. This campaign can be found at https:// nnedv.org/latest_update/going-beyond-buzzwords-domestic-violence-awareness-month. Besides these overarching campaigns and projects, Peace and Justice, Residence Life and the Gender and Society class encourage you to get involved, especially on campus. Traditionally, women ages 18-24 who are college students are three times more likely to experience sexual violence than women in general, according
to the U.S. Dept. of Justice). While all of October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, while Oct.14 through Oct. 20 is National Week of Action, and that is exactly what these groups plan to do. Each day of the week, these groups will be collaborating to act against domestic violence and for awareness. The groups encourage students to participate with faculty and their peers next week.

Q & A with Dr. Jeremiah Cawley How long have you been teaching? I have been teaching basically since 2005.
Welcome to the new director of choral and vocal activities by Antonia Rupert staff writer
Dr. Jeremiah Cawley is a recent addition to the Music Department. Cawley has been very active on campus, most recently being involved in the Family Weekend performances of “Desserts Pops” and related musical events. He has a very extensive back-
ground in all forms of music. Although he comes to Loras as the director of choral and vocal activities, Cawley is quick to note that his first foray into music was not as a vocalist — but as a trombone player. Cawley said he looks forward to getting to know as many students as possible, and he urges students to consider choir.
Where are you from? I grew up in Wheaton, Illinois. What brought you here to Loras? I was hired at the director of choral and vocal activates. What advice do you have for students in your class? Work hard, practice, study, love your music. Be musical.
What all are you teaching this semester? The three choirs, concert choir, chamber choir and con brio. Also “History of Sacred Music,” as well as the musical next spring. What is a fun fact about you? I lived in London for two years and enjoy International rugby; England is my team. What’s one “unfun” fact about you? There are no “unfun” facts about me.
