Both the Criminal Justice Club and the Center for Academic Engagement organized a large troop of Hudson Valley Community College “Vikings” to click clack in high heels for the annual Walk-A-Mile in Her Shoes International Man’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence on Saturday, April 30 in Troy’s Riverfront Park. Samaritan Hospital was the local sponsor.
About 45 people including students, staff, faculty members as well as several Chartwell’s staff members participated in the march. Even the Viking Mascot sported a pair of pumps. Overall, it was a fun and successful day supporting an excellent cause.
We would like to acknowledge all of the students who participated and Student Activities and the Student Senate for their support. We also would like to give a special thank you to Coach Mike Muehling for encouraging his players to participate as well as.
The CRJ Club has been participating in this event for the last several years as part of an effort to bring awareness to this issue.
Sincerely,
Shawna Addison and Jessica Gilbert
