Pink October: SKEMA students raise breast cancer awareness

​Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in France and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. However, if detected early, breast cancer is cured in 90% of cases, according to the Ligue contre le cancer. To support patients and improve their daily lives, several SKEMA student societies are working together.

On the Lille campus

The students of the society HeForShe are launching a hair collection campaign on the Lille campus on Thursday, 13 October, from 8am to 12pm and from 1pm to 6pm. The society is offering to cut 10 cm of hair (dry and loose). All hair types are accepted, say the students.
