Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention

Faculty member Deborah Wilson and honors student Rachel Wetherington visited the Honors Seminar classes this morning. They spoke about sexual assault awareness and prevention. Each presented personal experiences from their casework. Wilson has had long experience in this area. Wetherington, too, is interested in the field having already presented a poster on human trafficking and held a summer internship with the FBI.

One of the goals of the honors seminar and freshman seminar courses at SAU is teaching students about relationship problems and how to avoid the sometimes severe consequences surrounding the ending of personal relationships.
