Elizabethtown College is honoring National Dating and Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DDVAM) with a series of initiatives and events throughout October, presented by the Office of Title IX.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the month, the Etown campus community is encouraged to participate in awareness initiatives and attend events that help to raise awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n
