The SAVE team hosted the first ever "Rockin the Knight Away" event inside the new Recreation and Wellness Center on the Friday before finals week. We had more than 200+ students attend, with several other clubs providing fun and interactive games! The Rock Band Video Game system was a huge hit with students showin off their skills, and the inflatable rock wall challenged people to make it to the top! This event was in conjunction with the months of December's National Commemorative Month being "National R**e Awareness" The SAVE team highlighted the statistics on college campuses by placing them on sign stands throughout the gym, as well as by sharing with students the mission of SAVE: to empower individuals with this knowledge, and in turn become active bystanders to encourage reporting and the protection of their peers.

Thanks to Student Development & Engagement, APB, Exercise Science Club, Residence Life, and the many students who made it so much for fun!
