Temple Student-Athletes and Coaches Participate in WalkTU Event

Related Topics: Student athlete

Temple student-athletes and coaches joined in the second annual "WalkTU" event to raise awareness around sexual violence on Wednesday.

WalkTU evolved from thoughtful conversations around a popular awareness-raising event, Walk A Mile In Her Shoes. "Walk A Mile," as it came to be known, was an opportunity for male-identified allies to participate in an event that was intended to draw attention to violence against women. The event initiated important dialogue around allyship, inclusion, and representation.

WalkTU emerged from that dialogue as a Temple-specific event intentionally designed to include everyone within our campus community and create space for all survivors of sexual violence.
