Wednesday evening “Take Back the Night” was held in Whitley Auditorium to raise awareness about sexual assault and rape. During the week, students were invited to make t-shirts concerning sexual assault and rape. They were on display at Moseley Center and put on stage during the program. Smith Jackson, dean of Student Life, Crystal Sharpe, domestic violence investigator of Graham Police Department and Deana Joy of CrossRoads Sexual Assault Response and Resource Center spoke at the event. Twisted Measure, Chris Hendricks, Sweet Signatures and James Pieper performed. The candlelight march was cancelled due to rainstorms. The first “Take Back the Night was held in 1877 in England.
