Red Flag Campaign

Thu, Oct 16, 2025

Education Building Lawn

  As a part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Red Flag Campaign encourages the campus community to practice Green Dot bystander intervention when they see warning signs, or "red flags," of unhealthy relationships. The red flags on display near the Education Building represent the number of reported acts of dating/domestic violence in Wood County. If we do our part to intervene and to educate, we can shift the campus culture and reduce the number of flags.  The campaign will be on display from Oct. 13 - Oct. 17. To individuals with disabilities, please indicate if you need additional services, assistance, or modifications to fully participate in this event either by contacting the ODOS or Accessibility Services at access@bgsu.edu or 419-372-8495. Please notify Accessibility Services prior to the event. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students (ODOS) at odos@bgsu.edu.   CONTENT WARNING: This event will share the stories of those who have been impacted by violence. Please be aware of your own well-being and take time to process.
