Six Degrees president Bradley Heinz, a junior, said the concert served a dual purpose.

"It was both a celebration of activism and an event to encourage collaboration between different student groups, NGOs and the general public," he said."We wanted to create a large audience so that groups could hand out petitions and talk to people.Basically it was about bringing together a lot of people and groups working similar causes."

According to Heinz, Six Degrees originally focused itself to solely publishing a quarterly journal that provided students a venue to describe their experiences with activism and cover issues ignored by the mainstream press.
