Extra Credit Events

1. I went to listen to the speech entitled: "Wrong Place, Wrong time" which talked about how young Black American often find themselves in potentially dangerous situations and end up in injuries or even deaths. Besides, the speech is also about how after-care and counseling can help prevent the victims from returning to the same type of situation or committing the crime themselves out of vengeance.
2. I attended the panel speech on how the current criminal justice system is broken which results in many innocent people being convicted and sent to jails. The speech introduced an organization working to rescue innocent inmates using DNA testing.
3. I attended the conference "Symposium on Gender and Sexuality. Panel 2 explained the causes and effects of sexual harassment and revealed the severity of the issue by showing the statistic of people experiencing sexual harassment.
