5.) Colon Cancer Awareness “Dress in Blue Day” is March 7
UofL’s Kentucky Cancer Program is encouraging everyone to wear blue on Friday, March 7, for National Dress in Blue Day as part of Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the country as well as in Kentucky, killing nearly 900 people each year in our state. Colon cancer screening saves lives, but unfortunately many people are not being screened. Please wear blue and help raise awareness of this preventable disease.

6.) PLAN Workshop: Writing a literature review
2 p.m. – 3 p.m. Feb. 18, Room 105, Houchens Building
The literature review is one of the most common genres of scholarly writing, yet one that can be frustrating if you’re not used to producing them. In this workshop we will explore the purpose the literature review serves in scholarly writing, some of the important conventions of the genre and strategies for how to approach writing the strongest literature review possible. Graduate students interested in attending can register and find more information on the PLAN website.
