Posters advertising the event had appeared throughout campus, and event organizers took out a full-page advertisement in The Crimson yesterday relating Ayeni's experience.
Heather A. Woodruff '03, one of the organizers of the Veritas Forum, said that she thought many students could identify with Ayeni's message.
"We all came to Harvard wanting to be everything we were in high school-
we were the big fish in a small pond," Woodruff said. "Everyone's had to confront the reality of not being that when they got here."
"The goal is people see that Jesus is real in our lives and that he does provide for our lives and influence our lives in a positive way," Woodruff said.
While many students simply paused out of curiosity before continuing on into the Science Center, others listened attentively.
Alrick S. Edwards '04 said that as a first-year, he has already witnessed the depression that Ayeni talked about.
