As we gear up for Maroon & Gold Weekend, join us for a meaningful start on Thursday, Sept. 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the West Lawn near the David Center, as we come together for 22 Push-Ups for Veteran Suicide Awareness. Everyone is invited to meet active-duty service members, enjoy lunch, win prizes, and join in 22 push-ups every half hour to raise awareness for veterans’ suicide prevention. Leading the push-ups will be U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and Walsh alum Joshua Ruiz ’21, our Veteran Affairs Coordinator. Modified push-ups are welcome, and all are encouraged to participate. According to Veterans Affairs (VA) researchers, an estimated 22 veterans take their own lives every day—a staggering number that may be even higher. Let’s come together as a community to help raise awareness and support our veterans. Special thanks to our sponsor SoL Harris/Day Architecture for their support of this event and the Pro Football Hall of Fame for donating an autographed football from the 2023 Class of Inductees to give to the winner of the push up challenge. | Read More (PDF)

Dr. Nick Morris gave a presentation on Climate Change for the North Canton Public Library’s Senior Group.
