This week, the JCU campus experienced two separate instances in which students, staff, faculty and administra- tors came together to rally for important causes that affect college students across the country: eating disorders and relationship and domestic violence.

Blue Streaks take a stand for women Last week, the John Carroll community witnessed two flash mobs on campus intended to rally students to take a stand for victims of domestic violence. The flash mobs were organized by the program One Billion Rising, a movement directed by activist Eve Ensler. The flash mobs were, in fact, an international movement, and John Carroll joined the program through the Violence Preven- “ tion and Action Center as well as the JCU Dance Ensemble. The purpose was to unite with one billion others across the world on Valentine’s Day through dance. Students also coordinated the “Sex Signals” event last week, which addressed relationship violence among teens and college John Carroll students. Both events were mainly organized by student orga- Cartoon by Nicholas Sciarappa nizations with the interest of promoting awareness in the John Carroll community.
