The impact of hearing activist and educator Brenda Tracy’s story last spring inspired student-athletes James Smith-Williams and Vinnie Durand to join the fight against interpersonal violence and to invite Tracy back to NC State recently for #SetTheExpectation games in football and men's soccer. Giving back is one way to continue the impact and the momentum of Tracy's return visit. Support for the NC State Survivor Fund covers medical care, counseling, legal assistance and other expenses for those who have experienced interpersonal violence.
