UNIVERSITY CENTER – On April 4 in the South Main hall of the Delta College main campus students have set up for Change Your World week. A variety of students came out to sign petitions, snack on cookies, and learn. The political science students will be taking their petitions to Lansing where they will present them to state representatives. Come check out the displays and learn about the different causes all week.

The group proposes that schools should have better security measures to prevent gun violence.
