The annual Diversity Festival hosted by A.T. Still University, Truman State University, and the City of Kirksville is right around the corner. This year the event will be held on Saturday, April 25, from 1-5pm (venue TBD). This event celebrates the diversity of not only the college campuses in town, but also the ever-growing Kirksville community. The Diversity Festival provides students, families, and friends with an incredible opportunity to connect and learn about cultures, sub-communities, and experiences outside of their own. Through food, performances, and interactive activities, the festival is a fun and educational experience for everyone!

Denim Day 2026 – Wednesday, April 29th

In 1999, Peace Over Violence began the campaign after the Italian Supreme Court ruled to overturn a rape conviction. Their reasoning: the victim was wearing tight jeans, so she must have helped her rapist remove them, implying consent. Following the reversal, women in the Italian Parliament wore tight jeans in solidarity. In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Wednesday, April 29th, is known as Denim Day.

Join us for a clothesline event on the SUB Mall, Wednesday, April 29th, to use your voice by painting jeans. Please wear denim this day.
