The event was orga­ nized by Impact in conjunction with the Global Peace Film Festi­ val, which wrapped up its week long event later that evening with the film "Down the Rabbit Hole". "There are so many terrible things the world, and it's good to take a moment and recognize that," said Jordan Ward, who is the Graduate Assistant that works with Impact. "I was inspired by that quote, 'to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world/ One per­ son can make a difference." The event took place during the lunch hour, and included mu­ sic, food, drinks, and free items. A book about peace and a c.d. that included songs from around the world were two of the items being given to all who attended. Some RCC's signed their classes up to attend in order to receive points for the RCC cup that is going on all semester. Dr. Newcomb's Debates about Free Speech RCC was one of the class­ es in attendance.
