National Park College (NPC) Cultural Diversity Awareness Club (CDAC) and Student Life
hosted Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® in celebration of International Women’s Day last week.
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® takes place on college and university campuses around the
country through the months of March and April annually. The march is a playful way
to increase awareness for serious women’s issues, including sexualized violence against
women. The march featured male faculty, staff and students from a variety of areas
on campus wearing red high-heeled shoes.

Ricki Rebollar. 
Darla Thurber, special assistant to the president and chief diversity officer said,
“The event is twofold in that it brings awareness to serious women’s issues such as
sexualized violence, as well as promotes the achievements of the many women who have
paved the way for our female students, faculty, and staff members.”
Greater Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce Woman of the Year nominees gave a brief word
of encouragement to attendees. Pictured left to right, Mary Kay Wurm, Angela Echols, Tamra Barrett, and Katherine
