While news crews broadcasted debate coverage from the lawn in front of Cullen Performance Hall last week, a more somber gathering took place only a few hundred yards away.
Students and faculty from various housing and student health organizations gathered at Butler Plaza to raise awareness for suicide and mental health issues. The event was in conjunction with with Project Semicolon, an international project aimed at reducing suicide and erasing stigmas against mental health issues.
