as well as a social worker and program director, speaks during Trine University’s

Smith emerged as a survivor of rape and sexual assault in September 2015 after 20
years of silence. Angola Mayor Richard Hickman is seated to her right. More than 200
students and community members took part in the event, which observed Sexual Assault
Awareness Month and included a march to Monument Circle as well as a vigil and balloon
launch in support and honor of victims’ rights.
