Tunnel of Oppression – Fall 2013

Tunnel of Oppression is an event where spectators witness various types of discrimination, hate and oppression. Participants walk through a room and witness skits that are centered on prevalent issues of hate that affect our society today. Viewers walking by and not speaking up against the oppression that they see is meant to mirror our society’s general silence and taboo over many of these forms of oppression. The annual program is held every fall.

The fall 2013 Tunnel of Oppression was a huge success and we feel we spread knowledge about issues that affect our campus. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and attended our program!

Thank you to all of our chapter members and volunteers who made this event possible!
