Men will teeter and totter around in high heels at MTSU to again raise awareness about a very serious issue.

"Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 30, at the Campus Recreation Center.

The event marks MTSU's participation in the International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence, an enterprise of the nonprofit organization Venture Humanity Inc.

Its founder, Frank Baird, created "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" in 2001 "to create a unique and powerful public experience that educates individuals and communities about the causes of men's sexualized violence against women, provides them with prevention and remediation strategies and empowers them to further develop and implement these knowledges and skills interpersonally and politically," according towww.walkamileinhershoes.org.

Registration begins at 5:30 p.m. The first 100 participants will receive a free T-shirt. All participants are invited to remain after the walk for a free concert and food.

This event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by Fraternity and Sorority Life, Intercultural and Diversity Affairs, the June Anderson Center for Women and Nontraditional Students, the Office of Student Organizations and Service and the Student Government Association.
