MU community: why we run Participants rally around various causes for Children’s Hospital By Sophie Bolich

More than 15,000 participants flooded the Marquette campus Saturday morning for the annual Brigg’s and Al’s Run and Walk for Children’s Hospital. Most people toe start lines preoccupied with stretching hamstrings or drinking water, but some have something more important on their minds. Monica Geiser, a freshman in the College of Health Sciences, ran Al’s Run for the first time this year in support of her cousin, who had leukemia and was treated at Children’s Hospital. “We’re here for the kids,” Geiser said. “I think Children’s Hospital does a lot,” she added. With participants from California to Maryland, Al’s Run has remained Milwaukee’s largest race since its debut in 1978. “I didn’t realize how big it was going to be,” Ryan Coon, a student in the Graduate School of Management who ran on a team for the company he interns for, said. “The whole place is shut down. I’ve never seen this many people on campus.” Also among the crowd was Marquette alumnus Steve Bruskiewicz, who runs in Photo by Meredith Gillespie meredith.gillespie@marquette.edu

training programs, presentations and a policy called TAKES ACTION. Will Burke, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, said his close friend experienced a sexual assault in the past and he believes sexual violence is a very important issue to attack. “Whatever (the university) can do to prevent it should be done so more people can help
prevent it,” he said. However, he thinks the programs will only be somewhat helpful. “Not all students will necessarily pay attention to what (the programs) say and those are the students that might get hurt by it,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt and hopefully it helps to at least inform people.” Sara Johnson, the Director
of the Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Program, is working closely on the TAKES ACTION Model. It is a policy that encourages students to recognize signs of possibly dangerous situations. It is exemplified by the Bystander Training that sophomores will be taking this month. “TAKES ACTION empowers and mobilizes participants to recognize, intervene, and
prevent harmful comments, actions and behaviors from escalating,” Johnson said. Johnson says all students who complete the program will receive a TAKES ACTION card, which contains information and tips that can be used as a reference tool in a possible situation. “The program’s main objective
