The Office of Multicultural Affairs, led by Director Dr. Vincent, is co-hosting a National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Lighting Ceremony at the Wayne K. Curry Building on Friday, March 6, 2026, at 5:30 pm-6:30 pm.
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Held on the first Friday of March, Dress in Blue Day is a key initiative to promote screening and honor survivors. By showing up in blue, individuals and groups help make a sometimes uncomfortable topic easier to talk about, while also encouraging practical action like learning personal risk factors, recognizing possible warning signs, and getting screened on an appropriate schedule.
- Wear blue to honor someone affected by colorectal cancer.
- Wear blue as a reminder to talk with a healthcare professional about screening.
- Wear blue to show support for patients, survivors, and caregivers and the challenges they face.
In an effort to honor this national campaign and bring awareness to the public, the Wayne K. Curry Building and the CAB Building will be cast in a blue light at night for the month of March.
