The pristine golden tower atop University of Denver’s own Ritchie Center was featured in the documentary the Hunting Ground which set the precedent for the discussion of sexual assaults on college campuses. The discussion began before the 2015 release of this movie and five years later, the concern is still high.

Just over a month in the making, the Instagram account @wecandubetter, has just under 3,000 followers on a campus of 5,000 students and has created almost 100 posts, brings awareness about the prevalence of gender violence on the University of Denver’s campus.
