Students in Misericordia University’s newly formed chapter of Autism Speaks U designated April 7 as ‘Light Misericordia Up Blue Day’ to shine a light on autism and show support of Autism Speaks. The students organized blue exterior lighting on a number of campus buildings. They also sold blue T-shirts and encouraged everyone in the campus community to wear blue that day, the color chosen to signify autism awareness.
