A Message from the Chief Greetings Tribe Members!

Adam, Aly and I wish you all a happy and bright New Year! We look forward to seeing many of you at this semester’s Tribe events and gatherings. In this newsletter, you will find the dates of the events and gatherings for this semester, the biography of our Spring 2014 Tapping Luncheon speaker, as well as updates on our on- campus projects. We hope these projects will enhance the Tribe’s presence on the Coral Gables Campus. Iron Arrows are everywhere—leading student groups, playing for our teams, advocating for social justice, caring for patients—and our plans for the Mound, in our Room, and in the Rat will celebrate this work and our love of Alma Mater. 2013-2014 OFFICERS The Fall 2013 semester was filled with fun times and great people. We appreciate the time and effort that many of you made to ensure that Fall semester’s events went so well. We hope that you will continue to share your ! stories, your ideas, your advice, and your time with the Tribe. It is our individual members who make this a Tribe LAUREN LEE PETTIETTE of traditions and living history, and Adam, Aly, and I thank you for continuing your support this year. I have Chief enjoyed not only leading the Tribe, but also learning more about the people, the history, and the traditions of Iron 318.572.5877 Arrow and the U. Additionally, I want to thank Adam, Aly, Ann, and our COE for being great friends and help [email protected] throughout everything. ! Our newest Tappee Class has certainly added to the already abundant amount of talent, passion, humility, ADAM BOFILL character, and spirit that exudes from our Tribe. I encourage every Iron Arrow to take advantage of connecting Son of Chief with these new members—and with our “old” members— through our online community and our scheduled 786.218.2977 Tribe events and gatherings. Every time I receive an email, read an article, or attend an event, I am reminded that a.bofi[email protected] we have many members who are doing wonderful things for our community. ! I have also found that we have many members who are willing to give their advice, assistance, and friendship to ALYSHAH “ALY” JAFFER any member who reaches out. This is one of the Tribe’s greatest gifts—the consistent, unwavering support that Medicine Man any member may seek and always find. This support is a gift that every Iron Arrow should open because it 615.275.7832 makes us better as individual members and stronger as a Tribe. This support provides the stability, encourages [email protected] the integrity, and solidifies the accountability that Adam, Aly, and I have emphasized throughout this year. Also, ! As I finalized the spring calendar, I realized how busy this spring semester will be for our Iron Arrows. Right now, ! we will be able to spend time at meetings, honor courts, Selections, and Initiation, and we hope to plan other events that both our members and our University family members may enjoy. If you are in Miami, please make a COUNCIL OF ELDERS point to reach out to your fellow Iron Arrows and come to one of our events. JOHANN A. ALI As we immerse ourselves in this spring semester, I find it appropriate to share with the Tribe one of my favorite DAVID L. BROWN wishes that we share with one another during Mardi Gras season in Louisiana: “laissez les bons temps ROBERTO CASTRO rouler” (Cajun French for “let the good times roll”). I have a MYLES A.

Iron Arrow Honor Society Spring 2014 Luncheon Speaker: Lauren F. Book ! Lauren graduated from the University of Miami in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and Creative Writing, and went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Community Psychology and Social Change and Non-Profit Development. She was tapped into Iron Arrow in the Fall of 2010 as an alumna.! Lauren, as founder of Lauren’s Kids, was a victim of childhood sexual abuse for six years at the hands of her female nanny. Armed with the knowledge that 95 percent of sexual abuse is preventable through education and awareness, Lauren has worked to turn her horrific personal experience! into a vehicle to prevent childhood sexual abuse and help other survivors heal. Each year since 2008, Lauren has embarks on a 1,500-mile statewide walk across Florida to bring awareness to local communities, support the life-saving work of children’s advocacy centers and sexual assault treatment centers, and advocate for legislative change. Tens of thousands of Floridians have turned out to walk with Lauren during her annual Walk in My Shoes journey, including thousands of child sexual abuse survivors. Her walk has helped shine a light on the dark issue of child sexual abuse, empowered survivors, and influenced the passage of more than a dozen Florida laws to better protect children and serve survivors. ! Lauren will walk the state for the fifth time in 2014. This year, Lauren will be in Miami-Dade County on the Walk In My Shoes journey between March 18 and March 22. On March 18, you can meet up with her in Homestead. On March 19, she will be in the Naranja/The Falls area. On March 20, she will be in the greater Miami area, and on March 22, you can join her on her journey in the northern greater Miami area and Aventura. Please visit http://laurenskids.org/events/walk-in-my-shoes-2014 for more information, including the day that is planned with !the Miami HEAT. In addition to her advocacy work, Lauren is committed to empowering children to protect themselves against abuse by teaching an in-school curriculum that provides children with the necessary tools to act as the first line of defense against abuse along with their parents and teachers. The curriculum has been delivered to public-school kindergarten classrooms and voluntary pre-kindergarten programs across the state of Florida, thanks to an appropriation from the Florida Legislature. Lauren recently created curriculums for two unique populations: children with developmental disabilities and families fostering !children who have been sexually abused. Lauren is also an accomplished author, chronicling her years of abuse in her memoir, It’s OK to Tell, which sheds light on the !truth about abuse and the healing journey that a victim goes through to become a survivor. As a nationally renowned spokesperson, Lauren is an advocate for change and regularly comments on breaking national news. She has been featured on hundreds of news outlets including Our America with Lisa Ling on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, the Associated Press, ABC News, Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell on CNN's HLN and Maria Shriver Architects of !Change. In 2013 Lauren was recognized as the National L’Oreal Paris Woman of Worth. for her tireless work to prevent child sexual abuse and help victims heal into survivors, one of 10 women from across the country to receive the prestigious award.

Through her work with the Lauren’s Kids foundation, Lauren Book has truly transitioned from a victim into a thriving survivor of !childhood sexual abuse. She is one of 42 million survivors in the United States today.
