The LEAP Center "went pink" on Friday in honor of individuals who have fought or are currently battling breast cancer. To show their support, a variety of students and employees stopped by the Student & Administrative Services Center office throughout the day for pink ribbons, buttons, snacks and a photo booth. Pink is the signature hue for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, observed every October to increase public consciousness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.
