NSU, OSBI Sexual Assault Awareness Month Symposium

NSU, OSBI partner for inaugural OSBI Sexual Assault Awareness Month Symposium – April 11

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. – Northeastern State University and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation will host the inaugural OSBI Sexual Assault Awareness Month Symposium on April 11. News on 6 anchor Lori Fullbright will lead the event, which carries the theme “Be Heard, Be Believed, Be Supported.”

The symposium will feature nationally recognized speakers, including Linda Terrell, who will share her journey from survivor to advocate; Kelly Taylor, who will present on the neurobiology of trauma; and Natalie Gallo and Erin Taylor, who will discuss problematic sexual behavior in youth.

“Registrants, whether law enforcement or civilian, will work in some capacity with sexual assault survivors, hear from experts in the field of neurobiology, problematic sexual behavior and hear from victims themselves about how to be empowered to be heard, be seen and be believed,” Christopher Leamon, OSBI Special Agent, said. “Information booths will also be available with organizations that help support survivors, victims’ advocates, law enforcement, child advocacy centers and more.”

The event is part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which is dedicated to supporting survivors, raising awareness and providing resources for victims throughout April.

NSU and the OSBI have a long-standing partnership that offers extended learning opportunities for law enforcement officers.

“Through the NSU College of Extended Learning outreach, we’re developing a hub for law enforcement and public safety awareness,” Eloy Chavez, dean of the College of Extended Learning, said. “These outreach programs speak to that as part of our mission.”

Qualified registrants can earn up to six credit hours for social work and behavioral health, and up to seven hours for their Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training credit.

The event is free to attend and will be held on the NSU-Broken Arrow campus on Friday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lunch will be provided for registered participants.

Registration is required for the symposium, however information booths will be open to the public.
