The Gun Violence Initiative will showcase gun violence prevention research and resources through special, simultaneous exhibits at the John M. Olin Library on the Danforth Campus, and the Bernard Becker Medical Library on the Medical Campus, from September 21 to October 2, 2015.
These exhibits will include a display with key texts and articles with the latest research relating to gun violence prevention. The topic has become one of the top public health issues affecting our region and the rest of our country. The exhibitions are part of a slate of activities and events planned as part of the yearlong initiative Gun Violence: A Public Health Crisis at Washington University.
Stop by during the exhibit for a deeper understanding about the public health challenge of death and injury as a result of gun violence. The exhibits are free and open to the public during library hours.
