RockOUT Celebrates Pride Week with Candlelight Vigil

As a part of RockOUT's Pride Week at Slippery Rock University, a candlelight vigil was held Thursday evening in remembrance of those who have taken their own lives because of the bullying and hatred they faced due their sexuality. Students shared stories of others as well as stories of their own regarding the subject. This was one of the many events sponsored by RockOUT in honor of Pride Week.

KettleCorn Video Remix Proposal

 For my KettleCorn Video Remix, I think I would like to cover some of the events RockOUT is putting on campus for their 2014 Pride Week. It's somewhat newsworthy and will be ongoing all week so I think I will probably be able to get some good stuff for the project. I'm particularly looking forward to the Drag Show. I haven't ever been able to go, but I hear its always a great time. I think that portion of this week's events will be particularly fun to capture on tape.
