Every October, communities come together to acknowledge and raise awareness around relationship and domestic violence. On campus, you may see purple everywhere, purple ribbons, purple shoes, purple lawn signs, and even the Campanile will be lit up with purple lights. Purple is the symbol of our commitment to confronting and ending relationship violence in the communities where we live and work. Twenty-one percent of college students nationally report experiencing relationship violence in their current relationship. With nearly 50,000 Georgia Tech undergraduate and graduate students, we could fill the entire McCamish Pavilion with students who are currently experiencing dating or relationship violence.
