MCC is once again participating in the national Enough is Enough Campaign. It’s a Campaign to Stem Societal Violence. This concept came out of NASPA’s keynote address by the VP of Virginia Tech in the wake of the recent shooting. The campaign’s goal is to provide model strategies for broad based interventions addressing youth violence on the nation's campuses through innovative partnerships among students, parents, and administrators. If you would like to know more about the Enough is Enough Campaign, please visit: https://www.naspa.org/enough/default2.cfm.

In "Change Your World, Not Your Body": Baker explores the historical evolution behind our current idyllic body type, the stigma surrounding mental illness, and 10 ways that we can individually re-frame the way we perceive ourselves and others. She encourages each person to “change your world, not your body,” uses empirical data to explore the correlation between weight and health, and discusses the “Health At Every Size” movement. Baker shows that by learning to love yourself as you are, you can join in a revolution that directly improves our societal structure on a global level. Come ready to challenge the notion that beauty is exclusive in this powerful, passionate and progressive presentation. FREE for MCC students/fac/staff
