For example, attending a workshop on gentrification illustrated how such an unfamiliar topic for me could heavily be impacting those around me. I realized my ignorance came from the power and privilege I had and reflected on what I could do given my position to facilitate social change.” - Veronica H. iLead Participant getinvolved.ucsd.edu

Each year, a watermelon is dropped from the 7th floor of Urey Hall so students can measure its velocity on impact and determine just how far pieces of the fruit can splat. On the first year, the distance from the point of impact to the farthest piece found was recorded at 91 feet!
