This event focuses on providing support for survivors of sexual assault, while raising awareness of the issue within the community. The schedule includes a keynote speaker with a story of survival, a silent march to commemorate the lives lost as a result of sexual assault, a speak-out (a space for survivors and allies to share their stories) and a candlelight vigil. This event is open to New College students, faculty, and staff, as well as to the wider Sarasota-Bradenton community.  

Dr. Frank Alcock, senior fellow at the Collins Center for Public Policy and associate professor of political science at New College will present a lecture titled "To Drill or not to Drill?" on Tuesday, May 1, at 5:30 pm in Sainer Pavilion. The talk will consider dueling narratives of the stakes involved with expanded drilling throughout the United States, in the Gulf of Mexico and within Florida's coastal waters. It will argue that both narratives are compromised by exaggerated claims and rigid policy stances that continue to paralyze energy policy. Tickets are $10. New College faculty, staff and students can attend for free.
