For the month of November, or "Movember," men across the country will grow mustaches to raise awareness for men's health. The Movember Foundation was founded in 2003, and helps raise awareness and money for issues like prostate and testicular cancer, sexual health and mental health.
At the University, a Movember movement fronted by Watkins Health Services utilizes research from the Movember Foundation to help students. WHS is distributing information and resources about men's health, and is encouraging students to get check ups as well as grow mustaches. WHS is handing out fake mustaches for those who can't grow their own.

John Haugeberg, a graduate student, sports a mustache for Movember. Movember, which happens throughout the month of November, is an event in which men grow mustaches to raise awareness for men's health
"A lot of people have heard of No Shave November and Movember is just mainly focused on the mustache," said Kirby Knipp, a senior from Overland Park and a Peer Health Educator for WHS. "We wanted to get [Movember] started on campus because we think it's a really good health initiative."
campaign for November. There are picture events on campus throughout November where they take pictures of students with mustaches, regardless of whether they are real or fake. These pictures will be featured on the Watkins Health Services website and its Twitter handle @Beak Healthy. They also encourage students to tag themselves in their own mustache picture*
To get the word out, WHS created a social media
November will end with an event in Anschutz Library on Nov. 24 where participants can show off their facial hair from the month. There is also a Men and Masculinities Symposium on Nov. 22 at the Kansas Union.
The Movember movement began in Melbourne, Australia when a couple of friends were having a drink in a bar and discussing fashion trends. They decided to bring back the mustache and found 30 guys to grow mustaches with them, said Doug Prusoff, the college outreach engagement manager for the Movember Foundation.
They discovered how easy it was to start a conversation around their mustaches and decided to use that to start conversations about men's health. They created the Movember Foundation, and
since 2003, have had over 4 million participants, raised $559 million and started campaigns in 21 countries. "[It's] not just getting guys growing mustaches and raising funds but really changing the way that research is being done," Prusoff said. "Hopefully we'll find a time where no man should die from prostate
cancer and no man should die from testicular cancer."
This cause puts a fun face on a serious issue, and mustaches of all shapes, colors and sizes are encouraged. Last month, Knipp grew his flesh colored mustache as a trial run for Movember, which received unfavorable feedback from his friends, Knipp said.
Nevertheless, he is embracing the spirit of Movember.
"Who am I to not grow one and tell people to do it," Knipp said. "I have started to grow one and by the end of the month it will be 'a nice, hopefully, walrus mustache."

Students raise awareness for homeless children

At the age of 13, Jennifer Morris found herself homeless.
After her mother left her when she was young, Morris moved in with her grandmother. When her grandmother suddenly passed away when she was 13, Morris was forced out of her home.
For months, Morris lived in the woods in Rosedale. Every day, she would visit a house at the bottom of the hill where she took a shower, washed the only set of clothes she had and was given a sandwich.
With the help of therapy and social welfare programs, Morris found her way off the streets. Now a student at the KU School of Social Welfare, Morris feels empowered to help the homeless, especially
Morris is participating in the seventh annual One Homeless Night — an event designed to raise awareness and donations to give homeless children a strong future. The event starts at 8 p.m. this Friday and lasts until 8 a.m. Saturday morning.
"It's a really neat event where the number one goal is to raise awareness for youth homelessness in our area," said Anne Harper, special events manager at Synergy Services, the group hosting the event.
children.
As a part of the event, the participants are asked to stay outside for the evening, giving them the opportunity to step into the shoes of the homeless.
An estimated 2,000 homeless youth sleep on the Kansas City streets on any given night. Morris said.
"Our goal is to reach out to the students that are in this situation now," Morris said. "We want to get them the tools to build their future."
Morris said this starts with a safe environment where they can learn and a place for them to sleep and eat.

"We appreciate any help for the children. The littlest things can make a large impact on their lives."
"It ites youth a new perspective and shows them how other people their age are living lives so much different from their own," Harper said.
During the event, participants will hear from

"The juniors and seniors immediately knew that we wanted to get involved," Morris said. "It's huge for us because it's a very real issue."
Synergy speakers, hold discussion groups, engage in interactive activities and watch videos like "The Pursuit of Happiness," illustrating homelessness. On Saturday morning, a debriefing conversation will be held to discuss the impact of the event.
When the students in the KU School of Social Welfare caught wind of the event, they were determined to attend the event.
