Seven organizations on the campus of the University of Alabama have joined forces to raise awareness about the prevalence and dangers of eating disorders. Several events have been planned, including a fashion show and a blue jean drive.

"The goal this week is trifold," said Student Health Center dietician Lori Greene. "Increase awareness and education about eating disorders, promote a positive body image, and inform students of the resources that are here on UA's campus for someone that may be suffering from disordered eating."

In addition to the big events, tables were scheduled to be set up throughout the campus to provide information about eating disorders, including where and how people can get help. Source: The Crimson White
