Join BSA and UPC this February 6, 2020 from 6PM-8PM at Old Cabell Hall to hear guest speaker Cyntoia Brown speak about her experience overcoming adversity in the US prison system. In her own words, Cyntoia Brown shares the riveting and redemptive story of how she changed her life for the better. Convicted at the age of 16 and released 15 years later, Cyntoia has found hope in spite of her experiences with sex trafficking and a murder conviction that could have incarcerated her for life.

The event will feature poetic performances by Flux Poetry.

Doors open at 5 PM. 

A conference hosted by the University of Virginia Schools of Law and Medicine will focus on the impact of racial and ethnic discrimination in driving public health disparities.

For the 6th Annual "Walk a Mile For Martin" Event, students, teachers, and families will walk at least one mile around the neighborhood in order to march against some sort of injustice that they personally choose such as: bullying, hunger, poverty, or educational inequality. The goal is to get our school communities to walk for a positive purpose. They could even dedicate their mile to a person who has sacrificed for them. All participants have the option of walking or running as many miles as they would like.
