Penn State York students in the Human Development and Family Studies Club are preparing for the eighth annual candlelight vigil for child abuse awareness and prevention set for March 28 at the campus. Programming will begin at 4 p.m. as part of the weekly Coffee Hour in the conference center in the Main Classroom building. The vigil will take place at 5:30 p.m. outside the John J. Romano Administration Building.
A Child Abuse Awareness Candlelight Vigil is set for Thursday, April 5 at 5:30 p.m. at Penn State York. This is the seventh year for this event. Last year, students, faculty, staff, and members of the York community gathered outside the conference center of the Main Classroom Building to light candles and observe a moment of silence in support of child abuse awareness and prevention.
“Lest we forget.” These are words that continue to hold great meaning for students in the Penn State York Council on Family Relations (PSY-CFR) Club as they prepare for the sixth annual candlelight vigil for child abuse awareness set for March 30.
Deb Harrison, director of the York County Children’s Advocacy Center, spoke during the candlelight vigil last year at Penn State York sponsored by the Penn State York Council on Family Relations (PSY-CFR), a student club. The vigil this year is set for 4 p.m. March 30 in the Conference Center on the lower level of the Main Classroom Building. Members of the CFR Club, and other students majoring in human development and family students (HD FS) will speak. The event is free and open to the public.
