We would like to thank everyone who attended Tunnel of Oppression this year, it was a great success! In just four nights we had over 500 attendees. This program could not have been as successful without our many volunteers and we are sincerely grateful for all of their hard work in helping us bring the awareness of the many forms of oppression to the University and town of Kirksville.

Tunnel of Oppression is a multi-sensory experience, where participants take an hour-long tour through several rooms that shed light on oppression and injustice that occurs around the world and around the block. In the past, some room topics have included religion, racism, poverty, body image, learning disability, sexual orientation, and human/sex trafficking.

In Spring of 2011, nearly 500 people went through the Truman’s Tunnel of Oppression over the course of 4 evenings. This year’s Tunnel will feature rooms that have never been seen on the Truman campus before. We hope that you are ready for this eye-opening experience.

Tunnel will be held on the 5th floor of Centennial Hall on Thursday, March 22nd, Friday, March 23rd, Monday, March 26th, and Tuesday, March 27th. The first tour will leave at 7pm and the last tour will leave at 9pm. Tours will leave in 10 minute intervals and will begin on the South side of the building.

UPDATE: Power has been restored to Campbell Apartments and West Campus Suites.
