Minnesota School of Business Partners with Rivers of Hope for Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Event

They say in order to truly understand someone’s experience, you must walk a mile in his or her shoes. The Minnesota School of Business-Elk River campus has teamed up with Rivers of Hope, advocates for ending family violence, to host a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 11 a.m., where 30 participants will be doing just that. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes aims to raise awareness for abuse and assault against women by asking men to literally walk one mile in women's high-heeled shoes. This fun event gets the community to talk about the serious issues related to gender relations and sexual violence. The walk will begin at the Minnesota School of Business campus and will stretch throughout one mile in the Elk River community.
