November Feature: WVU College of Law

On Nov 11, the College of Law’s wellness team joined forces with the Women’s Law Caucus (female law students) to promote lung cancer awareness to students and employees.

Educational materials were distributed, and over 70 signatures were collected on a petition calling for increased funding for lung cancer research. In addition, a total of $120.00 was collected for donation to the National Lung Cancer Partnership.

  • Lung cancer kills approximately 160,000 people in the United States each year—
    more people than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined.
  • 85% of people who are diagnosed with lung cancer will die of it within five years of their initial diagnosis.
