At Wilson Talent Center, raising awareness for meaningful causes is more than just a one-time event—it’s a yearlong commitment woven into the fabric of the Educational Careers program. Each Wednesday, students and instructors choose to wear specific colors that represent different causes, showing up not just in class, but in solidarity.
This month, the cause was personal and powerful: suicide prevention. By wearing purple and teal, the students honored National Suicide Prevention Month and helped spark conversation around mental health, connection, and hope. The gesture is simple, but the impact is far-reaching—reminding peers, staff, and the community that no one has to struggle alone.
In an environment where future educators are learning how to lead with empathy and purpose, this weekly tradition offers a powerful lesson in visibility and advocacy.
