October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but this year it was time for the men of Wesleyan to shine during the month of November; or should we say Movember? For the entire month faculty, staff and students pulled together to raise awareness for prostate cancer by growing mustaches.
“I noticed Movember online and talked with Jason Seward, coordinator of Batten operations, and Willie Harrell, associate coordinator, about getting a partnership at Wesleyan to make this happen,” said Doug Kennedy, associate dean for campus recreation.
Seward and Harrell were ready and willing to start this movement on campus.
“The first thing I said when I saw the video was, ‘Oh, it’s on!’” Seward said. “It went from a funny e-mail to ‘let’s make this happen.’”
