Students in blue recently roamed Rend Lake College's campus in an effort to raise awareness about April being National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

The students, all enrolled in Dr. Jeannie Mitchell's Child Psychology course, handed out flyers and cookies in every building on campus while dressed in T-shirts designed to raise awareness. The flyers were filled with information and facts about child abuse, including how to spot it, statistics on abuse and who to contact in case of emergency.
