In Honor of Survivors

The University Museum is preserving more than 200 teal mesh bows tied to trees last winter in tribute to young women who’d survived sexual abuse by former physician Larry Nassar. The adornments were removed after foliage-damaging gypsy moths began nesting in them. Museum staff will assist survivors and their parents in creating an upcoming exhibit including the bows and other poignant reminders.
