The Student Council for Exceptional Children and Best Buddies collaborate each year to put on a campuswide Spread the Word to End the Word Campaign. Spread the Word is a nationwide campaign whose mission is to raise awareness of the derogatory use of the R-word (retard, retarded) as well as to promote inclusion for individuals with disabilities.

This year, the campaign will be held on March 4, 5, and 6 during Bengal Pause (12:15–1:30 p.m.) in the Campbell Student Union. We will have music, prizes, popcorn, an opportunity to sign our Spread the Word pledge, and a lot of fun! We will also host an evening event on Wednesday, March 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in Assembly Hall 2 of the Student Union, during which we will provide information about this cause and showcase the many talents of individuals with disabilities. 

Please join us for this exciting and important celebration of awareness and inclusion.
