MARQUETTE, Mich.—Jamie Tworkowski, the founder of To Write Love On Her Arms, will speak at Northern Michigan University on Monday, Feb. 6. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. in the University Center Great Lakes Rooms. It will be followed by a Q&A session. Admission is free for NMU students with ID and $2 for the general public.

To Write Love On Her Arms is a non-profit group that works to help people who experience depression, addiction, self-injury and suicidal tendencies. Originally founded as the simple attempt to tell the story of a friend in need, it quickly became an Internet phenomenon with the aid of MySpace and is now a global movement. The organization has donated $850,000 to fund treatment and has been featured on NBC Nightly News, in Rolling Stone Magazine and elsewhere.

The event is hosted by Platform Personalities and paid for by the Student Activity Fee.
