At this year's Take Back the Night, Criminal Investigator Brooke Atkinson from Forsyth County spoke about the importance of understanding the concept of consent.
According to Atkinson, consent is a sober and vocal "yes." She went on to explain that sexual assault on college campuses is common yet under-reported.
Take Back the Night, which was held Sept. 28 on the Drill Field, is designed to raise awareness of sexual assault and violence around the nation at college campuses.
The evening began with a relaxing acoustic guitar singer-student, Matthew Hoyle, performing original songs and a few classics.
After Atkinson answered questions, the crowd marched around the square in Dahlonega Square with posters and glow sticks before returning to the Drill Field for a moment of silence.
