Our vision is a positive and inspiring experience, filled with practical knowledge for
professionals, current students, and prospective students. This conference will allow participants
to envision the opportunities and potential for their own successes within the field of human
sexuality.
Workshops should offer valid and tangible information as well as an inspirational message. We
welcome a variety of approaches to your presentation. Special consideration will be given to
proposals that are interdisciplinary and interactive. We are particularly looking for workshops
that combine knowledge with tools for attendees to utilize in their careers. Students currently
enrolled in Widener’s Human Sexuality program are encouraged to apply.
This one day conference will consist of 9 workshops focusing on professional skills for the
educator or the clinician. Each workshop will be 75 minutes long. Submission deadline for
proposals is June 1, 2013. Conference is October 11, 2013.
