Dear Eagle Nation:
This week's newsletter is pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer affects men as well. The American Cancer Society estimates 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the United States this year.
As a community, Coppin State stands with the survivors and those facing breast cancer, their families, caregivers, and those who offer support. Coppin as we soar academically, we must prioritize our health and well-being.

Breast cancer is a disease that has a number of risk factors, and choosing to prioritize health and wellness can help us reduce risk and beat this disease.
Through education and support we can increase awareness of breast cancer to empower our loved ones and push for research and treatment that will move us closer to a cure.
Join First Lady Toinette Jenkins on Thursday, October 26 at 12 p.m., during CSU University Hour, for her third annual Wellness Challenge, where our campus community will enjoy a wellness walk and other fun activities at the Physical Education Complex.
