A Special Message from our Guest Speaker
"I, Sophie Pollack, am a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, which is why I started this grassroots organization. It took me a while to come to terms with wanting to share my story, but I know it would benefit not only me but the survivor community as a whole. I am more than just a survivor. That is not solely who I am. Survivors are more than their past; they are individuals who take their experiences and make a change in the world."
About A Path2Courage
A Path 2 Courage is a grassroots organization based on the idea of building an advocate base for sexual assault survivors. Being an advocate has become a part of my identity and has helped others shape theirs. With the help of this grassroots organization, I am hoping to continue to build a strong advocate base for sexual assault awareness.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
