Social justice speaker draws crowd

Chelsea Gullen spoke to a crowd Tuesday evening in the University Center with her address "Does HIV Look Like Me?" The lecture was the first of the academic year in the Social Justice Series sponsored by Falcon Programs. The next lecture, "Be the Change You Want to Be" by Jessica Pettitt, is set for Tuesday, Oct. 5, from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Riverview Ballroom, UC. Pettitt will be on campus earlier in the day for a session aimed at faculty and staff called "The Day Everything Changed" from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in the Kinnickinnic Theater, UC. This interactive program, facilitated discussion, and supportive action planning session will examine the gap between social responsibility and the campus code of conduct in the event of an incident or crisis on campus. A third session by Pettitt that day, "Just Rescue," from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the Kinnickinnic Theater, UC, will deal with finding a way to work with judgments and assumptions made while making decisions based on limited information.
