Workshop: A more inclusive sexuality education

Sex Education week makes cameo at Washington State University

By David Blehm

Graduate assistant Kelley Wilds, who also serves as a WSU ROAR program instructor, recently received funding from the organization SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change to coordinate an awareness event on WSU campus during the Sex Ed Week in Action.

Wilds will be hosting an event on Monday, February 13th in room 204 at the CUB. The event will include an evening of storytelling and raising awareness for inclusive sexuality education.

“The desired outcome of this event is to raise awareness for sexuality education that is inclusive to everyone,” Wilds said. “In addition to learning about sex education facts, this event will be interactive and allow for attendees to learn about other experiences with sex education.”

In collaboration with WSU ROAR and the LGBTQ+ Center, all WSU students are welcome to join this event to learn more about inclusive sex education and have the opportunity to share personal experiences with sex education while learning about other perspectives.

“By sharing our stories, we can change the narrative through awareness and empowerment,” Wilds said.

Research Conversation

We love research. And conversation. Now they’re combined.

We’re not the first folks to engage in dialogue about our research endeavors. We just perfected it!

A handful of times each semester, we give some time to a faculty to share their research with the rest of us. These one-hour (max!) sessions are always very compelling.

Lauren Bruno and Holly Whittenburg

Supporting the Successful Transition of Students with Disabilities from School to Adult Life Through Policy & Practice

Drs. Lauren Bruno and Holly Whittenburg will present their research on two individual projects related to the transition from school to adult life for students with disabilities. They will then discuss how their two lines of research converge and the work they do together. There will be time for discussion.

Dr. Bruno’s research focuses on improving transition outcomes for youth with disabilities. More specifically, she focuses on (1) improving the preparation of pre-service and in-service educators’ ability to implement evidence-based practices related to transition; (2) using the Universal Design for Learning framework (including assistive technology) to improve post-school outcomes of youth with disabilities; and (3) post-secondary educational opportunities for youth with intellectual and development disabilities. Lauren also focuses on the shortage and high attrition rates of special educators.

Dr. Whittenburg’s research focuses on improving employment outcomes for transition-aged students on the autism spectrum and students with intellectual disability. Her recent research examines interventions to teach employment-related skills, approaches to creating opportunities for inclusive work experiences, and how special education and vocational rehabilitation law and policies affect the transition experiences of students with disabilities.
