A team from the Port St. Lucie campus representing students, faculty and staff participated in SafeSpace’s Walk A Mile In Her Shoes® to bring greater awareness about the issue of domestic violence.  The team covered the mile course through the streets of Ft. Pierce wearing 4″ red stilettos.  At the end of the festivities, The Largest Team award was presented to the Port St. Lucie campus.
