#ICYMI Yesterday, Voorhees University held its 2nd Annual Pink October Breast Cancer Awareness Walk! The Honors College, in partnership with the Student Government Association (SGA) and Student Health Services, brought the VU family together to walk in the fight against breast cancer. This year’s theme, "Don’t Talk About It, Be About It," encouraged participants to take action, learn, and educate others about breast cancer awareness. We gathered in the Pecan Grove to show our support, and the energy was inspiring! Let’s keep the momentum going by continuing to raise awareness and support this important cause! #pinkoctober #breastcancerawareness #vuhonors #walkforacause #stayinformed #VUfamily #HBCU
