Organizations on our campus have a lot of opportunities to support specific causes and organize events to raise awareness. It is still Suicide Prevention Month for the month of September, so today, we are talking to Cole McAndrew, William & Mary alumnus and the previous coordinator for the Out of Darkness Campus Walk planned in conjunction with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We talk about what Cole's role has been in organizing the walk, how campus organizations advocate for their causes, and how college students could show support for the topics that they care about.
