will host its annual Veterans Day Luncheon
in Lawson Plaza from 12 to 1:30 p.m., which
Student Affairs Associate Nora Romero

campus.”
On Wednesday evening, the Loft will be
offering two free beers to any veteran to
express gratitude for his or her service from

LMU CARES promotes its
new campaign to prevent and
combat sexual misconduct.

LMU Campus Awareness Resource
Education Services (LMU CARES) strives to
educate the LMU community about sexual
and interpersonal misconduct and prevention,
while also providing support and resources for
those who have been affected.
During Convo on Thursday, Nov. 6, LMU
CARES invited the LMU community to learn
more about the program, as well as its newest
campaign called “Live the Lion’s Code.”
Briana Maturi, special assistant to the senior
vice president of Student Affairs and the
person in charge of overseeing the LMU CARES
program, explained the goal of this campaign.
“ ‘ Live the Lion’s Code’ is really our campaign
that’s bringing programming into action.
So living the Lion’s Code means being bold,
it means being courageous, it means being
supportive, it means being loyal, it means
being respectful— that’s what it means to
be a Lion,” Maturi said. “By living the Lion’s
Code, it means that we are a community that
stands against sexual misconduct, and we’re
a community that’s willing to step up for each
other. So that’s the idea behind the campaign.”
Many LMU students were drawn to the
LMU CARES table at Convo, in part due to
the brightly colored shirts that read “LMU
CARES, and I Do Too.” At the table, LMU
CARES representatives encouraged all who
attended to ‘like’ the Facebook page and
follow LMU Cares on Twitter and Instagram
to stay up to date with the latest LMU CARES
news. Everyone who participated received a
free T-shirt, and some also received adhesive
cellphone wallets, drawstring backpacks and
cubes with information about consent and the
Lion’s Code .
Maturi believes social media is a powerful
tool that can be used to spread awareness and
create change, which is why this event was
primarily focused on social media platforms.
“I think there are a number of ways for us to
be actively part of making change and shifting
culture. One way is doing programs and
attending workshops, like the LMU CARES
