More than 100 people from the University met the homeless, watched human trafficking and observed cyber bullying in Kirby Smith Hall on Tuesday evening.
The Department of Residential Life hosted the “Tunnel of Oppression,” where small groups were immersed in acting experiences that highlighted oppression and social justice.
Spectators were guided through rooms that depicted themes of homelessness, human trafficking, body images, LGBTQ and gender issues and cyber bullying in creative ways.
Various student organizations on campus sponsored the rooms, decided the theme and chose the medium for which the social awareness message was transmitted.
The Social Work Student Association depicted the negative issues of body image by performing about insecurities.
