Friday morning's demonstration was scheduled for ten AM in the university's main gymnasium. The venue choice was strategic - large enough to accommodate an audience, formal enough to convey seriousness, and neutral enough to avoid appearing partisan toward any particular program.
Kofi arrived early to supervise setup. Team members were arranging equipment while visiting senseis prepared demonstration materials. The gym gradually filled with university administrators, students, faculty, and media representatives.
"Nervous?" Alex asked as they watched people file into the bleachers.
"Focused," Kofi replied. "This is our chance to show what these programs actually do."
The audience was larger than expected. Word had spread through social media and campus networks, drawing students from programs that weren't directly threatened but understood the broader implications.
