  • es B2 September 28, 2012 By Garrett Whipkey Contributing Writer T love the mountains, said Aubrey, an up- and-coming elementary education major who attended Western Carolina Universitys Open House on Sept. 15. For many Catamounts, this simple sentiment is the seed that has grown into a fruitful college career at WCU, and the breathtaking Blue Ridge horizon is among the most attractive selling points for those considering pursuing higher education in Cullowhee. However, it is strikingly clear just from a casual stroll through Open House WCU does not end with | its scenery. Students attending the event were exposed to the very best of : the university. After registration, and prior to a welcome session, visitors began their day by checking out an academic fair on the Ramsey Center concourse. There, an array _ of WCU faculty was available to speak with prospective students about their academic interests. When asked if the opening festivities were beneficial, one of Aubreys parents answered, Absolutely. I knew from researgh online that Western is that the attractiveness of . an economical school WCU takes back the night with Red Zone campaign By Katie Marshall Contributing Writer On September 26, the Red Zone awareness campaign hosted its annual Take Back the Night event in the Grand Room of the A.K. _ Hinds University Center. At 6 p.m., the doors opened for an information fair, with tables about Red Zone and other associated organizations. At 7 p.m., the presentation began. Executive Director of Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment (PAVE) Angela Rose shared her own story about sexual assault. When she was 17, she was abducted and assaulted by a repeat UPSET sex-offender outside a shopping mall. Today, she is a grassroots activist organizing national events and campaigns through PAVE. After Roses presentation, Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. led a march across campus in a campaign against sexual violence. The march ended witha short candlelight vigil. Associate Director of Resource Services Sarah Carter commented on the event. As a part of the Red Zone Campaign, Take Back the Night is meant to shatter the silence about sexual violence, said Carter. The goals of the Red STOMACH? % CAMPUS LIFE and that you get a lot for your money, but to know some other things, like the amount of students who live on campus, was very fun. It was great for Aubrey to go around and have some one-on- one conversations with various department representatives and think about what her minor might be. After these initial events, students were separated and taken to academic sessions based on their intended areas of study, which took place in specific departmental buildings Also, there were ongoing tours of campus: beginning at the Alumni Tower, and a two-hour lunch period in the Dining Hall, for which students were given lunch vouchers for upstairs and downstairs dining. Tours of the Campus Recreation Center and of residence halls were also part of the day. The Information Fair held in the University Centers Grand Room was especially beneficial to possible new students as well as current ones. The place was buzzing with conversation and played host to an eye-popping roll call of campus organizations. Among those represented were Residential Living, Orientation Services, Dining Services, Cat Card Office, Intercultural Affairs, Base: Camp Cullowhee, various fraternities . and sororities, Service - Learning, Graduate School, Technology Commons, WCU Dance Marathon, Office of Leadership and Student Involvement, and so on. As evidenced through the Information Fair, students are only a stroll through campus away from virtually any information that they may need, and opportunities abound for student involvement. ; Erich Carpenter, a potential parks and recreation management major, spoke of his satisfaction that there was a club involving his major. T found out that WCU has a Parks and The Western Carolinian WCU showcased at September Open House Recreation club, and T learned a lot about my major after talking to professors, said Carpenter. A parent, who wished - to remain anonymous, expressed that she was impressed with the Whee Teach program. Tt will involve my daughter so much in her major, but its also like her own kind of sorority, one that also benefits her education, the parent said. : Western Carolina has more Open House dates available. There is another for the fall _ semester on Saturday, - November 10. In the spring, WCU will once again open its doors on Saturday, February 16, and Saturday, March 16. Zone campaign are to encourage awareness of the red flags in an unhealthy relationship and to show that we as a community do not tolerate abuse of any kind. Carter added, Take Backthe Night encourages participants to develop an open dialogue on the dangers of sexual violence. Here at WCU, we want to promote healthy, happy and consensual relationships for everyone. In 2007, a National College Health Assessment (NCHA): survey documented that 18 percent of the female and male student population at Western Carolina had reported "MEDWEST URGE! SYLM, 8 TELL US WHAT HURTS: MedWest Health System is pleased to provide the region with an urgent care center, conveniently located in the Walmart Plaza in Sylva. Urgent care provides a faster, less costly excellence, our pass that they were in an emotionally abusive relationship within the past 12 months. According to the PAVE website, one out of every three women and one out of every 10 men are victims of sexual assault. Sexual violence affects everyone, not just women, said Carter. We have to bea community of support, a community of allies, regardless of gender, to make change occur. When asked how students can get involved, Carter explained, The most important thing is to spread the word. Get the dialogue started. Its about standing up against violence and ( alternative to an emergency department visit, caring for illnesses like sore throats and upset stomachs, or injuries like Sprains and cuts. The MedWest Urgent Care Center in Sylva is staffed with caring physicians, nurses, and techs to take care of what hurts. MedWest Urgent Care can even help you become established with a primary care physician for follow-up. being allies for those in your community. Take Back the Night . empowers participants to challenge the myths of sexual assault and to join together to end the violence and truly take back the night. ~ Lauren Olmo, the community service chair for the Kappa Alpha chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., also praised the event. Take Back the Night is a great way to bring awareness to campus, said Olmo. It brings a group of people together for one cause and shows the campus that no matter how big or small you are, you can always make a difference for something you feel T PLAZA) strongly about.
