Students Host Vigil after Kavanaugh Confirmation

A group of King Hall students arranged a vigil today, "Support Survivors," to express their concerns about the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court amidst allegations of sexual misconduct. The vigil started with a march around the campus and ended in the King Hall courtyard. Then participants shared stories, reflections and poems about what it means to be a survivor of sexual assault and sexual violence.

Several faculty members attended to show their support including Senior Associate Dean Afra Afsharipour, Kelly Behre, Jack Chin, Mary Louise Frampton, Jasmine Harris, Courtney Joslin, Lisa Pruitt, Leticia Saucedo and myself. Senior Assistant Dean Hollis Kulwin was also in attendance as well as Director of Admission and Outreach Joe Schneider.
