Erin Schuster's "love letter to Lucubrations. The sanctuary in the steady, unwavering, inviting corner of the world across the street from the rest of campus. "
Thanks to all of you that made it a safe space for us to grow into voices this year.
It Happened Here
Here are some of the submissions we got for the "It Happened Here" Feature. Some of these have been changed to remove identifying features. We also had some courageous and touching stories shared at the Open Mic.
Each Voice that speaks out, makes other victims feel less alone, and less to blame. Each voice makes it easier for others to break the silence. Rape Culture can only exist when we look away and don't see it for what it is. Thanks to all these courageous voices for starting the process.

Lucubrations by Paul Goodspeed
Lucubrations
by Paul Goodspeed
It begins with background chatter crackling like a comfortable fire on a cold night
And home-baked bread that tastes like hospitality, sweeter than hand-harvested honey
Then she steps up to the mic and reels us in, collecting the scatter and quelling the chatter
And despite quirky quips called out with a smile, the program commences
With each song I float away on angelic acoustic music
Each lyric carefully carved with exquisite care
Each song its own path to profundity
