Transcript

September 26, 2008 By Catherine Connor Staff Writer Every fall, students walk by a string of t-shirts hung out on a clothesline in front of the University Center. Each of these t-shirts are strung with messages from victims of do- mestic violence for a week. I interviewed the new director of the Womens Center, Mi- chelle L. Clonch, to find out reason for the shirts. Catherine Conner: What is the purpose of the Clothes- line Project at WCU? Michelle L. Clonch: Well, it is a domestic violence aware- ness campaign all over the nation, not just at universi- ties. Actually, it originally started as a project to raise awareness about domestic violence to the community and it eventually spread to universities. CC: Is that because college students are also typically victims of domestic vio- lence? MC: Yes, a large percentage of college students are vic- tims. CC: What exactly is domes- tic violence? MC: It can be a lot of things, but typically itis violence that occurs in or around a home. That violence can be rape, abuse, sexual violence, or re- lationship violence. College students typically experience relationship violence as most college students arent mar- ried or living in homes yet. CC: How many shirts were strung out on the lawn this year and who wrote on them? MC: There were 55 new shirts among a core group of shirts that we keep and bring out on the lawn every year. The new shirts were made by stu- dents, members of REACH, and other people in the com- munity. CC: Was it just women that wrote on these shirts? MC; No. Both men and wom- en can be victims of domestic. violence. CC: How long has this proj- ect been going on at WCU? MC: The earliest records go back to 2002, so it has been around for approximately six years. CC: Tve heard that half of this project is also about the volunteers. How many peo- ple donated their time to the project this year? MC: Approximately 125 workers helped out and com- pleted about 145 hours total during the Clothesline Proj- ect. CC: How can students get in- volved in the future? MC: Well, our next event will be Love Your Body Week from October 20-24. Students can look forward to activi- ties from the new Recreation and Fitness Center, a women WESTERN CAROLINIAN FEATURES THE CLOTHESLINE PROJECT health issues talk, events from CLAW, information sessions on health from a professional nutritionist, counseling ser- vices, and programs from the Womens Center. Well have more information on dates and times soon. New Director of the Womens Center Michelle Clonch joined WCU from Orlando, Florida this fall after completing two bachelors and two masters degrees. She completed a bachelors degree in Psychol- ogy and Liberal Studies (with concentrations in Humanities and Art History) at the Uni- versity of Central Florida. She earned her masters degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Depth Psychology at the Pacifica Graduate Institute in California. Currently, Michelle is working towards earning her doctorate in Depth Psychol- ogy from the Pacific Gradu- ate Institute. At WCU, she helps run the Womens Cen- ter which helps her with research, development, vol- unteer work, and womens issues as related to psychol- ogy. She enjoys working at WCU and uses her spare time to become familiar with the culture, restaurants and art activities in the region. The University Center Staff is very excited to have Mi- chelle join them. oy a. ise Womens Center Activities for Fall 2008 Ongoing: Women Speak Out 12:30-1:30pm @ Womens Center (Once a month there will be a discussion about womens con- cerns) September 22-24: Clothesline Project Domestic Violence Awareness Campaign All Day-UC Lawn October 20-24: Love Your Body Week (October 21: Love Your Body Day) October 25-30: 2008 Alcohol Awareness Week November 15-16: Women in the Wilderness For more information on Womens Center events con- tact the Center at 227-2627 or via email at womenscenter@ wcu.edu.
