The event consisted of two speakers, as well as handing out purple tissue paper flowers and educational bookmarks in the University Center to students, all in the hopes of raising awareness about epilepsy. “I think this event could help the Lehigh community because it will inform students about what epilepsy is and how to react when someone is having a seizure,” said '''Catherine O’Grady (&#916;&#935;)''', ’15, the PSP leadership chair. “We are not raising money for this event, but rather, we are raising awareness.”
