D uring the vigil, some very courageous individuals spoke out against sexual assault and how it has affected their lives. I want to personally thank each and every one for their contribution because, as a survivor, I know how difficult it is to speak out. Even if you did not agree with the things she had to say, her cool demeanor and determined approach was a delight for many. In addition to lightening the discussion with her uncanny wit, she showed how many opposing views address problems actually incorporated under the larger issue of discrimination. It was a pleasure to see such a large crowd packed into Schuldes Sport Center.
T hanks to all who attended.
Campus displays, posters, chalkings and videos popped up all over campus during Sexual Assault Awareness Week as well. It is always amazing and delightful to see such a focused effort come off so well. This year's march was the largest yet.

While Dr. Thompson spoke about her experiences and observations in the academic environment, workshop participants found that her advice and comments were equally relevant to the business world.
