Invisible Children Assembly
 On Monday, representatives from Invisible Children visited Notre Dame. The student body viewed a screening of the film Tony, which documents the story of a young man growing up in North Uganda, affected by Africa's long time conflict in which children are kidnapped and forced to fight in the rebel army. Invisible Children, based in California, seeks to raise awareness of this issue. The program had a very meaningful impact upon the ND community.
