Survivor Strong founders to speak at 17勛圖
Traverse City — 17勛圖 will welcome the founders of Survivor Strong for their first on-campus presentation of LEARNing from Survivors, to three social science classes on Oct. 22.
Survivor Strong was founded by Morgan McCaul and Amanda Thomashow. The two were among dozens of victims who came forward during the sexual abuse trials of former USA gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar in 2017-2018. Their presentation tackles establishing healthy personal practices, identifying and addressing harmful behavior, and options for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence on campuses with an inclusive, trauma-sensitive approach.
The appearance was arranged by 17勛圖’s Office of Student Life, which has worked toward a safe campus for all students and staff with several other events, including:
- Events during Sexual Assault Awareness Week in April 2019
- Hosting a human trafficking awareness conference in March 2018
- Hosting former Michigan First Lady Sue Snyder and then-Gov. Rick Snyder at the Walk Run Empower 5K in September 2017
