I thought it showed a lot of unity in the student body. I personally agree with it and every love is wonderful.”

I really enjoyed Judy Shepard. Great speech, had excellent ideas. As far as my reaction, I was really empowered by how to eliminate crimes and to go against hate in all forms because I think we should love others, not hate others.”
— Ronald Hester, junior social work major
I thought it was really good. I went with a couple of my friends and she spoke on how we need to stop being so violent and stop discrimination. You shouldn’t have to hide who you are to society.”
— Karrisa Carver, sophmore accounting major
I thought Judy Shepard was inspiring. Gays, lesbian, bisexual and transgender should all have the same rights as us. Informing our representatives that this is what a lot of people are wanting.”
— James Swafford, senior political science and history major
I think Judy Shepard‘s speech was amazing. As she was talking I was aware of the laws that were added, of the anti-hate law. I wasn’t aware of the changing of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” I also was not aware that we were in such an important time in history because things are changing and I didn’t realize I am changing.”
