    Albert Taylor Hall, Emporia State University, 1 Kellogg Circle, Emporia, 66801

    SOS is partnering with Emporia State University’s THRIVE (The Healthy Relationship and Interpersonal Violence Education program) and Counseling Services from ESU’s Wellness Center to bring Curt and Christie Brungardt from Jana’s Campaign for Take Back the Night. ESU alumnus Emily Steimel-Handy will also speak, and the event will be followed by a March led around campus by SOS and THRIVE. This is a free event and is open to the public. Take Back the Night is April 6 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, starting in Albert Taylor Hall on the ESU campus. Curt and Christie Brungardt from Jana’s Campaign will start the evening. Jana’s Campaign was created by the Brungardts after their daughter, Jana, was murdered in an act of domestic violence in 2008. Jana was a KU student and 25 years old when she died. Since then, Curt and Christie have devoted their lives to educating and bringing awareness to domestic violence. They want it to be known that this can happen to anybody – no one is immune. Jana was an advocate for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Jana’s campaign works with colleges and university to provide training opportunities and resources to improve prevention and response efforts to sexual violence, partner violence, and stalking on campus. The Brungardts plan to speak about their story and advocacy, gender/LGBTQIA+ and relationship violence prevention, responses to sexual violence and stalking, healthy relationships, and more. Following Jana’s Campaign, Emily Steimel-Handy will speak. Steimel-Handy is an ESU graduate who will share about the impact that the trauma of sexual assault had on her, what we can ALL do to prevent sexual assault and support survivors, especially ESU students, and connect her experience to the passion for the work she does. Through the event and speakers, SOS, THRIVE, and ESU’s Counseling Services hope to make a large impact, sparking a passion for advocacy among students and the community. After the speakers, SOS and THRIVE will lead a march around campus, which has been a tradition for Take Back the Night at ESU. After the march, a speak out by victims will be hosted with an open dialogue format for healing and advocacy.

    Emporia Granada Theatre, 807 Commercial St, Emporia, KS, 66801, United States

    The jaw-dropping audio pyrotechnics that Naturally 7 put on display every night is absolutely mesmerizing! “This acapella group” so vastly underplays what they create onstage that they had to coin a phase – “Vocal Play” – to more accurately depict what they do. Naturally 7 is more than a tightly orchestrated collection of great singers. They transform their voices into actual human instruments, effortlessly producing music of any genre.

It also allows us to celebrate alumni and our strong business and industry partnerships that make our community great. Each year, this Gala is Flint Hills Technical College Foundation’s biggest scholarship and student crisis relief funding drive. As the economy fluctuates around us, we are committed to ensuring students have the necessary resources to forge a successful career through scholarships, our Wrangler Crisis Relief Fund, and our Wrangler Ranch (Student Food Pantry). To do so requires generous donors who contribute to our fundraising goals. This event raises funds for those initiatives, but also allows us to showcase our student talents in various ways, let donors know how they can help students, and bear witness to how their generosity has helped students.

    Synopsis: In this witty farce, competing desires for love and money square off as we follow the tale of two brothers who attempt to follow their hearts without losing their inheritance.
