10 Points of Light are Burning at UNT Tonight

[Harry]

If you don't have a story of your own, venture out to support those who do. This night is for everyone who has been hurt by sexual violence and everyone who stands against sexual violence. Our 10 Points of Light for 2015 are: Carroll College in Helena, Montana; Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque, NM; Claremont Colleges near Los Angeles; Fordham University in New York City; McHenry County College about an hour from Chicago; Moraine Park Tech in Wisconsin; Temple University in Philadelphia; Rutgers University Campus in Newark, NJ; University of North Texas just north of Dallas; and the University of Washington in Seattle. Each location has their own unique agenda, but what will draw us together will be the Vigil Light we will all shine tonight as a beacon of hope toward a ending sexual violence.

Southwestern United States has Central New Mexico Community College and the University of North Texas to shed light and show support. CNMCC's faculty wanted to be one of the 10 POL because their community is small and lacks the resources of larger communities. In contrast, UNT is the fifth largest university in Texas, and their students wanted to shine some Lone Start State Light for Take Back The Night.
