Join us in partnership with the Office of Student Equity for a screening of Getting Free (Watch trailer).

Getting Free reveals the battles of addiction, what can lead to it, and the process of recovery. Seven real people tell their stories of using a Buddhist-inspired approach. The documentary addresses all forms of addiction, such as heroin, fentanyl, alcohol, porn, sex, meth, cocaine, and overeating. With locations ranging from rural South Carolina and Wisconsin to cities like Los Angeles and Seattle, Getting Free includes heartbreaking but uplifting accounts of people using meditation, compassion, and forgiveness to help one another. Breaking the stigma of anonymity, this is the first feature film that tells the stories of real people in recovery.

Denim Day is a national day of action and awareness during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Wearing denim stands in solidarity with survivors and sends a clear message that there is never an excuse, and never an invitation, to harass, abuse, assault, or rape. Student Health Services will be out on campus alongside other campus and community partners to share information and resources related to sexual violence prevention, education, and support.

Why Denim?
