[edit] You-Are-Loved Chalk Message Project
Dugan was best known at Drew University for writing the words, "You are Loved" in sidewalk chalk. She began doing this in 2005 after a coping with a series of tragic events.[4] After her graduation, Dugan launched the You-Are-Loved Chalk Message Project as a national campaign raising awareness about suicide statistics and suicide prevention in the LGBTQ college student community.[5][6] The project is now a recognized, annual event observed by activist organizations, schools, and universities[1][7] across America.[8][9]
