Ruthie from MTV’s Real World: Hawaii spoke as part of the Office of Student Activities Food For Thought series designed to promote the use of dialogue on a variety of topics.
The Office of Student Activities brought Angela Rose to speak with students about the experiences that led her to become an activist for sexual violence prevention. She is the founder of the organization PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment, to create education and action surrounding the issues of sexual violence. Through PAVE, Angela has trained students (including athletes, fraternities and sororities) in sexual assault prevention, produced a documentary entitled Transition to Survivor, and founded Men Opposing Sexual Assault, a student group that highlights the importance of men in the anti-sexual assault movement. Students contributed to an art project that subverts a symbol of captivity, a plastic bracelet used for bondage, into a source of personal empowerment.
The third annual Iron Chef WAC hosted by the Student Events Board pitted the culinary skills of teams of 2-4 students against one another in flavorful competition. The dishes were judged based on presentation, originality, and taste. The winners were The Big Spoons with Taylor Goss, Ben Longwell, Tad Derrick, and Spencer van Cise. The second place team was Beauty and the Beast with Lindsay Haislip and Ryan Musgrave; third place went to Hillary Sica and Paige Harrison; and fourth place went to Chase Camera and Alex Stinton.
