COS Awareness Day: Reaching Your Entire Community
Hold an Awareness Day
COS sends a team of 4 to 6 diverse presenters to best match the needs and mission of your community to raise awareness and transform attitudes and culture. We work with you to craft the day’s schedule, audiences, content, pre-visit training, give-away’ s like t-shirts and wristbands, and more. We create a powerful, positive series of conversations, inspiring keynotes and interactive workshops for your entire community—students, faculty, staff, parents and even the greater community. We can use various spaces on your campus to run multiple concurrent sessions by year in school, gender, sports teams, department or other affinity groups.
Sample Awareness Day Themes:
- Day of Respect
- Healthy Relationships Day
- Day of Mindfulness
- Inclusivity and Diversity Day
- Substance Use Day
- Healthy Bodies Day
