        Marywood University to Hold Community Stalking Awareness Campaign
        January Is National Stalking Awareness Month
        Scranton, PA (January 16, 2024) — January 2024 marks the 20th National Stalking
        Awareness Month, an annual call to action to recognize and respond to the serious crime
        of stalking.
        Stalking is defined as a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that causes fear.
        Many stalking victims experience being followed, approached, monitored and/or
        threatened—including through various forms of technology. Victims and survivors often
        suffer anxiety, social dysfunction, and severe depression as a result of their victimization,
        and many lose time from work and/or move.
        As a part of the Department of Justice Grant, Project SHARE, Marywood’s prevention
        education efforts of the grant will be supporting a Stalking Awareness Week, January 22-
        26, 2024. The events scheduled are as follows:
        ? January 22 - Sweet Information Table, Learning Commons, 11 a.m.- 2 p.m.:
        This will be a tabling event where students can pick up information (flyers,
        brochures, etc) about Stalking Awareness on a college campus.
        ? January 23 - Stalking In the Media Presentation, Upper Main, Nazareth Student
        Center, 5-6 p.m.: This event is a presentation about how the media portrays
        stalking behaviors.
        ? January 25, 2024 - Stalking Awareness Presentation, given by the Women's
        Resource Center (WRC), Swartz Center, from 3-4 p.m.: WRC will give a
        presentation on stalking behaviors and ways to stay safe.
