  6. Springfest! We collaborated with the Women's Center, Student Leadership, and the Arts and Lectures Activity Board at NSCC to participate in NSCC’s Springfest. At the event we ran a table to raise awareness about sexual trafficking and sexual violence. We were proud to spread this message to our peers.
