The university's Writing Center is doing more than just helping students edit
their rough drafts.
Employees at the center participated in "You Are Loved Chalk Day," which is a
suicide prevention project. On the first Monday of October each year,
supporters of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans-gender individuals engage in
the chalk-writing project. Participants said that the "You Are Loved" theme is
especially poignant in light of the suicide of a Rutgers' freshman last week
after he was outed by his roommate.
