Matt Larson, nursing junior, and Laura Simpson, nursing senior, light candles at the Take Back the Night Rally and Candlelight March. This is Creighton's event to increase awareness for domestic abuse and its victims. Over 250 people gathered to show their support for this cause. More than $100 was collected in donations for Catholic Charities' "The Shelter."
