PARENTING THE DIGITAL GENERATION PRESENTATION!
Mar 8th 9:00am-10:00am – FREE ‘Parenting the Digital Generation’ Presentation with national expert on student safety and executive director of Campus Outreach Services and Take Back the Night Foundation, Katie Koestner at AB Tech Community College, with Hanger Hall School for Girls. Appropriate for parents of children ages 3-18 years, or professionals who work with them.

NEW DATE & LOCATION: Katie Koestner, national expert on student safety and executive director of Campus Outreach Services and Take Back the Night Foundation, presents “Parenting the Digital Generation,” 9-10 am, Thursday, March 8, in the Ferguson Building Auditorium on the main campus of AB Tech Community College.

Since then, she’s been an advocate and activist for student safety and sexual assault prevention. Her testimony on Capitol Hill was instrumental in the passage of federal student safety legislation, and she has assisted the U.S. Department of Education in developing and providing programs to women in high-risk communities.
