California....knows how to party.

In higher education there are certain folks who are something of an enigma. Really well known, liked and respected. This was the case as we approached UC Riverside and met up with "the" Doug Everhart. So we were a touch nervous as we cruised on campus.

During dinner we quickly recognized how he got such a image and why it was so well deserved.

Simply put, Doug is amazing.

He has unified his campus and created ways to educate a large portion of his student body on issues such as HIV, mental health, alcohol use and abuse and sexual violence. Not once in awhile but annually. His model is one we hope to share as a resource on Unite for Change.

Needless, to say we loved speaking both to and with the campus community. In addition to Doug we met many students and administrators who were also fantastic.

Thank you Doug and UC Riverside for allowing us to partner with you on Unite for Change and for creating a space where the message can be heard.

Northern Michigan University- Rocks Unite for Change!

So smack dab in the middle of the Unite for Change campaign we visit Northern Michigan University. We suspected it was going to be an awesome experience and we were right on. First off the student organizer was this awesome girl, Brit. She was professional, funny and motivated. Our kinda gal. So it was no surprise to us when she revealed she was also our sorority sister (sorry for the obvious bias).

However once we arrived on campus we knew Brit was a classic example of their entire Panhellenic Council. Who are actively working to stomp out sexual violence. The council even printed their own t-shirts which they sold as a fundraiser (pictured above). This is a great example of creating your own solutions to enact a cultural change in our communities.

You go girls!

Thank you all for being a part of the campaign and the Mission.

Always-

Becca and Kelly
