Take Back the Night Event Returns to CI – March 1
Take Back the Night is a powerful event that occurs annually on college campuses all over the country which encourages survivors and community members alike to break the silence associated with sexual assault and domestic/dating violence.
On Wednesday, March 1, 5:15 p.m. at the Broome Library Plaza, all those who are committed to ending interpersonal violence are welcome to come together to celebrate, honor, and support the survivors amongst us, while promoting a safer campus culture.
The free event will feature local speakers, including opening remarks by President Erika D. Beck, a candlelight vigil, a survivor speak-out open mic and a light dinner. The survivor speak-out will give survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones who support them an opportunity to use their voice in solidarity with others affected in the community.

Digital Redlining Talk – March 14
How can we understand equal access to technology and information in the digital age? Join us for a presentation on technology in education on Tuesday, March 14,4 – 5:30 p.m. in Broome Library, Room 1360.
Chris Gilliard explores how technology policies, practices, and investment decisions, especially in educational settings, create differential access and outcomes in colleges and universities. These processes, collectively understood as “digital redlining,” need to be understood and countered in order to create a more equitable educational structure.
Co-sponsored by Teaching & Learning Innovations and Project ALAS.
