Zonia Moore / The Dartmouth Staff After losing consciousness for several hours in a fraternity basement one night during her freshman fall, Paige '14 woke up in an unfamiliar setting and came to the horrific realization that she was being sexually assaulted by a male student. Paige was one of six speakers who shared their stories at Speak Out, an event designed to enable survivors of sexual assault and abusive relationships to share their experiences out in the open, putting a "human face" to the campaign against sexual assault and unhealthy relationships, said Rebekah Carrow, Sexual Assault Awareness Program co-coordinator and a Sexual Assault Peer Advisor. Over 150 students and staff listened attentively as Paige shared her story. When she managed to return to her dorm room after the traumatic incident, she began vomiting and found herself physically injured, but the long-term repercussions of the assault proved far more serious than her initial symptoms.
