UNIVERSITY CITY, SHARJAH \u2014<\/strong> The American University of Sharjah\u2019s Student Council hosted a \u201cPink October\u201d event on Oct. 28, transforming the Main Plaza into a sea of pink to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiative aimed to raise awareness about early detection and provide a space for students and faculty to show solidarity with those affected. Booths across the plaza offered information on breast health, self-examination techniques, and risk prevention. Donation stations were also set up, with proceeds directed toward Dr. Ghaleb Husseini\u2019s breast cancer research program at AUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Bound by the Ribbon\u2019 aims to unite the AUS community in supporting the fight against breast cancer through awareness, education, and action,\u201d said Qusai Al Tah, president of the Student Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis event reminds us that awareness isn\u2019t just about wearing pink, it’s about education, empathy, and taking action,\u201d added Al Tah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Student clubs and organizations added to the atmosphere with interactive activities, games and live performances that encouraged participation and conversation. The evening concluded with a moment of reflection honoring survivors and those lost to the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through this initiative, AUS continues to promote health advocacy and strengthen community engagement, inspiring students to carry forward the message of early detection and care beyond October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Myia Hamed UNIVERSITY CITY, SHARJAH \u2014 The American University of Sharjah\u2019s Student Council hosted a \u201cPink October\u201d event on Oct. 28, transforming the Main Plaza into a sea of pink to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
