World Cancer Day

February 4^th is World Cancer Day.

To acknowledge the day and get employees involved across campus, the Healthy Workplace Committee will be providing cancer ribbons.

Contact Occupational Health to request ribbons for your department.

World Cancer Day aims to save millions of preventable deaths yearly by raising awareness about the disease, and leveraging governments and individuals across the world into action. In 2018 alone, cancer was responsible for approximately 9.6 million deaths, and this number is expected to rise if proper action is not implemented. Hence it is crucial to spread the word and take part in this initiative.

This year’s theme is “I Am and I Will”, which reflects your involvement in cancer awareness; it gives YOU the power to make change. So think about what you will do this year to promote cancer prevention for yourself, your family, your community, and the world.
