A classroom project in a men's health class to mark the one-year anniversary of the massacre at Virginia Tech has received national media attention.

Students in Dr. Reginald Fennell's KNH 385 (Contemporary Issues in Men's Health) organized an effort to raise awareness about senseless voilence committed by men.  Men on campus were asked to paint a fingernail red as part of "Operation Jungle Red: Embrace Your Inner Strength."

Miami junior Tyler Topel, co-chair, says students want to make Miami a leader in getting college men to speak out against violence. The goal is to have 1,600 men on the Oxford campus paint at least one of their nails with red polish.

A gunman killed 32 students and himself at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007.
