you will go through something,
but hopefully nothing as severe
and traumatic as I have. But life
isn’t pretty all the time, things
happen. Set a goal, and work
towards it and don’t let anything
get in the way.”
Hatch played basketball for
the University during his fresh-
man year, but left the team to
focus on academics.
Denise Kozikowski, an LSA
academic adviser and organizer
of the event, said it was modeled
after a Stanford University pro-
gram called “The Duck Stops
Here.”
“The Duck Syndrome is this
idea that everyone on campus
is walking around looking like
this duck effortlessly gliding
across the pond,” Kozikowski
said. “Meanwhile, underneath
the surface, the duck is paddling
furiously and working so hard to
stay afloat.”
Kozikowski said organizers
wanted to create a space where
students could hear about fail-
ure and others’ triumphs over
tough problems.
“It’s an honest conversation,
about it’s not always going to be
easy and it’s not always going to
be perfect, but it doesn’t mean
that you’re not going to go where
you want to go,” she said.
LSA junior Lauren Gilbert
said she found Hatch’s speech
inspiring, particularly because
he has been through so much
at such a young age. She agreed
with Hatch’s view that any hur-
dle can be overcome.
“I think that any obstacle
is just an obstacle and you can
always get through it,” she said.
English Prof. Anne Curzan,
who delivered the event’s sec-
ond talk, discussed the impor-
tance of taking risks. She said
life will take students places
they would have never imag-
ined, and that’s OK.
“I think that when you see
adults into their careers, it can
look like we knew we were going
to get here,” Curzan said. “It can
gloss over all the messiness, all
the indecision, all the panic, all
the fear when we didn’t know
what we were going to do and
how the puzzle pieces would fit
together.”
When Curzan was 22, she
took a job teaching English in
China. She told the audience
how scary and hard the experi-
ence was for her.
“It wasn’t just about teach-
ing, it was about a new culture,
a new language,” Curzan said. “I
learned a ton about myself.”
Other
speakers
included
Engineering
Prof.
Herbert
Winful, Statistics Prof. Brenda
Gunderson, Public Health Prof.
Vic Strecher and Esrold Nurse,
assistant dean in the Office of
Student Academic Affairs.
Curzan advised students to
take risks while they’re still
young, gaining new experiences
before settling down.
“Take some risks, and have
some adventures, before you
own furniture,” Curzan said. “It
sounds funny, but life gets much
more complicated once you own
furniture.”

Though Sherry said the train-
ing spends time teaching students
to identify microaggressions, or
subtle instances of harm, stu-
dents also receive training on
how to respond to situations
involving intoxication and sexual
misconduct.
Sherry
said
the
program
expanded this fall with pilot
programs offered to a handful of
incoming graduate programs.
“The Change It Up! program is
an introduction to noticing prob-
lems and harm going on around
you,” Sherry said. “We look to
strengthen our connections to
the other programs in the first-
year experience and that happen
throughout the year.”
In 2014, reports of alcohol and
drug violations and sexual mis-
conduct have risen over the previ-
ous year. In a report released by
the Division of Public Safety and
Security, on-campus liquor law
arrests and citations totaled 254
reports, compared to 202 in 2013.
The 155 drug law arrests repre-
sented an increase over the previ-
ous year’s 114 reports.
Last year, the University’s
Sexual Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center received 44
reports of sexual misconduct,
compared to 35 reports filed in
2013.
Though the higher number of
violations could be a result of a
growing freshman class size and
high overall enrollment, the pro-
portion of liquor law violations in
residence halls per freshman class
has increased from 2012-2014 —
meaning reports are increasing
regardless of class size.
Erik Wessel, director of the
Office of Student Conflict Reso-
lution, said the rise in violations
is due to a number of factors, but
they do not imply bystander inter-
vention training is unsuccessful.
He pointed to national data
released by the White House that
showed bystander intervention
education is a promising method
to reduce harm, and programs
like Change It Up! could encour-
age students to come forward and
report instances of harm, like
sexual assault.
“As we increase awareness
across campus through programs
like Change It Up! and Relation-
ship Remix, we are creating a
culture and community that
understands sexual violence has
no place here,” Wessel said in an
e-mail.
Sherry said Change It Up! is
simply a foundation, and reduc-
ing violations and harm will take
continued practice with bystand-
er intervention throughout a stu-
dent’s time at college.
“The goal of the program is not
for students to leave and feel like
after 90 minutes we are going to
see a decrease in all of those vio-
lations,” he said. “That is going
to take programming that exists
beyond Change It Up!”
Sherry said part of Change It
Up! training is teaching students
that intervention in a situation
is not simply a choice between
doing something or doing noth-
ing, but can entail identify-
ing other ways to reduce harm.
According to Wessel, a potential
way to mitigate a harmful situ-
ation is to delegate the respon-
sibility to someone else, like law
enforcement.
“Ultimately, it is important
for students to hear from their
peers that we have expectations
for each other in this community
and part of those expectations is
to take action to reduce the poten-
tial for harm,” he said. “I believe
that students here at Michigan
are choosing to lean in to this call
to action in increasing numbers.”
