Sherri Hayes, Professor of Physical Therapy, says that she attended the University of Connecticut during the years 1966 to 1970, a turbulent era. She recalls the November 15, 1969, March on Washington, when more than 250,000 protesters gathered in Washington, D.C., in the largest anti-war demonstration to occur during the Vietnam war. At UConn, students decorated the ROTC building with flowers and recalls campus rallies and sit-ins. Student activism was major in 1969 and 1970. After graduating, Hayes did her internship at Walter Reed, where her patients were injured Vietnam veterans.
