Denim Day is TODAY
Join the Women’s Center, Counseling Center, and Project AWAKEN in raising awareness of sexual assault by participating in Denim Day TODAY!! All you have to do is wear denim and share a picture on social media (tag Project AWAKEN for a chance to win a prize).
Why denim? Denim Day was originally triggered in the late 90s when a teenager who was sexually assaulted by her driver’s training instructor was blamed for her assault since she was wearing tight jeans. Denim Day started internationally in response to this case; wearing jeans annually on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.

Rural Reimagined Student Spotlight: Ky Hensley & Rugby
Rural Reimagined features English Major Ky Hensley for her Historic Rugby Service Learning Project under the mentorship of Dr. Josephine McQuail. After researching Rugby, Ky identified an interesting collection of postcards sent from Sarah Kellogg Kimber Walton during her travels to England in 1908-1909. After discovering many postcards were neither transcribed nor inventoried, Ky proposed designing an inventory to allow readability and accessible location of the postcards. Ky states, “I feel like this project would be a wonderful project for students to continue working on, as I am laying the foundation of what I hope the postcard database will someday become.” Ky recently joined the Rural Reimagined student club, which views the project as a great service opportunity for the future. Wings up, Ky! For more information on involvement opportunities, contact Kinsey Potter at kbpotter42@students.tntech.edu.
