V-Day performances

From left, Tammy Szmuilowicz '04, June Jimenez '02, Katrina Dryer '01 and Rose Kwok '02 perform the piece "When I Was 12" from Eve Ensler's Obie Award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues, which addresses issues of violence against women. Cornell was one of hundreds of colleges across the country participating, through staged readings of the play, in the annual V-Day College Initiative, begun by Ensler and managed by Cornell alumna Karen Obel '88. The Cornell readings were Feb. 14 in Barnes Hall and benefited Crime Victim and Sexual Assault Services and the Task Force for Battered Women. Frank DiMeo/University Photography
