Hello Johnstown Campus students:
ReplyDeleteWe are so pleased to hear you hosted a Purple Day for epilepsy awareness! We were not aware of this but would happily add your college to the www.purpleday.org participants page. We would also love for you to participate again next year. If someone would be able to contact me at michelle@purpleday.org with the details, that would be fantastic. Thank you all again for supporting Purple Day and promoting awareness of epilepsy worldwide.
Best Regards,
Michelle Caplan
