So just when I think I’ve had my sole encounter with opera music on this trip, I quickly realize my hotel room is next door to some opera singer. And lets just say the walls were VERY thin at this Comfort Inn in Bethlehem. No offense to her, but it was doing nothing for me, so I cranked up CNN on the TV. At 7pm, I spoke during the Women’s Wellness Week at LeHigh. I was on this campus several years ago, and it’s so gorgeous. It was kinda funny, because ALL of the buildings are old and made from stone. So I parked my car and got out, and was trying to find the building with no success. I called my contact, Nicole, and asked her which building it was…and I told her, “Please don’t tell me it’s the stone one.” I whipped out the GFB program, and we had an excellent time. It was good taking this message to LeHigh, as it’s the source of one of the most proactive organizations about campus safety in America. In 1987 a gorgeous co-ed at LeHigh named Jeannie Cleary was raped and murdered in a residence hall at LeHigh. The Clery family sued the university and used the large settlement to start a national non-profit called Security on Campus. It’s a great resource, because you can log onto their website and find college crime statistics at any funded university. Check it out: www.securityoncampus.org
