Having taken part in the Take Back the Night March, I have become more aware of the prevalent threat of sexual harassment, assault and degredation that females face on this campus. Taking into consideration this campus is composed of a diverse population of students whose residency is from a variety of areas, it is still utterly appalling and disappointing to hear and to see events that took place in the past weeks.
