Today we'll explore the issue of feeling unsafe while alone in public, and how we can all be more mindful of each other. Have you ever felt unsafe while walking alone at night? What other daily occurences cause you to feel uneasy or uncomfortable? Do you believe your gender plays a role in your sense of safety? And finally, we will look back on the legacy of ODU's first and only head football coach Bobby Wilder after his resignation.
