With October being the national bullying prevention month, Cabrini College’s PSEA club had a table set up on Tuesday, Oct. 20, representing this month. Cabrini’s PSEA club partnered with Pacer’s national prevention center that is an organization that works for educational rights of children and children with disabilities. Vice President Mary-Kate Moran said, “Being a part of the PSEA is important because this is a way to help build up the confidence of little children instead of having this culture of tearing everyone down.”
In Founders Hall, members of the club spent the afternoon rais- ing awareness for bullying. At this table, Cabrini students were given the opportunity to sign their name to take a pledge to help end bullying. People who signed their name then received an orange awareness ribbon. Vaughan Dimaio, head of fundraising said, “Really empowering for us to know that we’re taking a stand against something that is so controversial right now and potentially make a difference in someone’s life.”
In the bottom of Founders Hall, on the wall near the cafeteria, students can find a bulletin board with information on how to join PSEA. The president of PSEA, Missy Matsanka, gave more information on how to join the club for other education members who are interested in helping make a difference with bullying. The main requirement for joining the club is to be an education major and with there being no limit as to how many people can be in the club, any education major can join.
