Take Back The Night

Take Back The Night is an event to raise awareness around sexual assault and violence against women and men. The event will begin with a speakout for survivors to tell their stories, followed by a candlelight vigil. Participants will then march around campus and the event will close with speakers from the community. This is the third consecutive year UMass has had a Take Back The Night. This is a student-planned event and is open to the entire student, faculty, staff and local community.
