1 MHMC- Commercial Template Doc Size 11.25” X 14” Image Area 10.375 x 11.75 CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK MADE FOR WALKIN’: (above) Junior Shelby Juarez helps senior Gustavo Lang walk in high heels. (left ) Junior Cody Helman kicks off the comfort of his sneakers to don heels. On Wednesday, several male UM students strolled around campus in red heels and took a pledge against sexual assault. The second annual “Walk a Mile in her Shoes” event was hosted by No Zebras to honor Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The public event encourages men to participate and learn about the social struggles that women face. The participants walked in their heels from the Merrick Building to Memorial to symbolize the awareness they hoped to raise. “I didn’t realize how diffi cult it would be,” sophomore Todd Herbert said. “I have full appreciation for women in heels now.” On April 19 at 7 p.m., No Zebras will host “Take Back the Night,” an open mic night followed by a walk around Lake Osceola starting at the Hecht-Stanford Labyrinth. STUDENT PROFILE At first, Nawara Alawa felt she was forced to be a Hurricane. She was raised by conservative Syrian parents who expected her to at-tend a university near her home in Miami Lakes. Hoping for more of a college expe-rience, Alawa applied to 15 out-of-state schools. She planned to use an acceptance to an Ivy League as a bargaining chip. This same reluctant girl is now proud to have been inaugurated as Student Gov-ernment (SG) president on Wednesday night. “Look at me now, I’m that girl that has half-orange, half-green Converse that say Canes on the back, and I’m screaming at every game, and I’m Student Govern-ment president,” she said. “It’s such a ‘180’ from where I started.” This change came after Alawa unen-thusiastically succumbed to her parents’ wishes. She decided to attend UM’s Great Start, an overnight pre-orientation pro-gram where commuters stay in the dorms – just to spite her parents. There, Alawa heard an alumna speak about making the best of the commuter experience. Alawa realized that getting involved on campus while living at home was a possibility. “She found a way,” Alawa remembers telling herself. “I’ll find a way.” Alawa quickly fell in love with the University of Miami, first by joining her Association of Commuter Students fam-ily. She also was drawn to participate in the Butler Center for Leadership and Ser-vice.
