A small group of women joined together the eve- ning of Sept. 21 to present a forum designed to pro- vide a “creative responses to violence.” This forum, organized in conjunction with the department of women’s studies and the Women’s Initiative for Sup- port and Empowerment, is meant to bring violence to the forefront of students’ minds. The program consisted of three different speak- ers and a viewing of the Clothesline Project. Susan Borwick, a professor of music and the director of women’s studies, introduced the forum, which was meant to “respond to violence in ways that are life- affirming and positive.” The first speaker, Jane Mead, an assistant profes- sor of English, read a few of her own poems that incorporate, “voices, which embody responses to violence.” Gina Jones, a communications officer with Univer- sity Police, spoke about Rape Aggression Defense. She has been with University Police for four years, and has been teaching RAD classes for the last three years.

That is precisely the reason Jones became A group of students reads the T-shirts strung across the Benson University Center rotunda.
