Sawyer Library is pleased to continue our successful Speaker
Series with this second event, featuring Suffolk University Alumnus, Robert
Uttaro! After graduating from Suffolk in 2007, Uttaro devoted his subsequent
years to aiding sexual assault and rape victims via crisis counseling at
centers in the area. His book, To the
Survivors, highlights individual victims’ stories of trauma and recovery,
and draws attention to the public need for crisis counselors serving victims of
sexual assault and rape. Please join us in the 9th floor Library
Commons to learn about and discuss this serious and timely issue. Robert Uttaro
will focus on college sexual assault, how it can occur and how to respond to
it.
Robert Uttaro is in his seventh year of working and volunteering
as a rape crisis counselor, public speaker and community educator. Inspired by
his undergraduate studies in Criminal Justice here at Suffolk, he continues to
embrace a life-long commitment to activism and advocacy for survivors of sexual
violence. Serving as a counselor, Uttaro supports rape survivors and their
significant others through various legal and case management issues.
Robert Uttaro’s book, To the Survivors is available in the
library and copies will be available for purchase at the event.
