This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oswego chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Oswego celebrated National Day Without Stigma on October 3. The orange balloons that were strung in the quad are part of a national effort to promote awareness about mental health disorders and people who struggle in silence.  This movement encourages students to create a supportive enviroment for others to empower themselves and seek help. Be educated and kind.

Oswego

Kaitlin Provost graduated from SUNY Oswego, majoring in journalism with a learning agreement in photography. She grew up in five different towns all over the Northeast, eventually settling and graduating from high school in Hudson, Massachusetts. Kait now lives in the blustery town of Oswego, New York, where she can frequently be found running around like a madwoman, avoiding snow drifts taller than her head (which, incidentally, is not very tall). She has worked for her campus newspaper, The Oswegonian, as the Assistant News Editor, and is also the President of the Oswego chapter of Ed2010, a national organization which helps students break into the magazine industry. She hopes to one day work for National Geographic and travel the world.
