April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Join SAS and the Sigma Pi chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority at Albion College for a child abuse prevention walk. A short gathering and comments will take place on the steps of the Kresge Gymnasium at Albion College at 4:00. The walk will begin at 4:15 and end with the planting of a pinwheel garden representing the carefree childhood all children deserve.
