Art Therapy Conference: Creating an Inclusive Space by Dismantling the Sociopolitical Construction of Sexuality
9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Saturday, March 30
Cost: $75 for the general public, $40 for SIUE faculty and $10 for SIUE students
In this workshop, we will learn about the historical sociocultural construction of sex and gender that led to the two-sex binary model (male and female). We will also learn how inaccurate and harmful this model is, as it does not include the biological and psychological reality of many. Even within the binary model, the sociocultural construction of 'female' sexuality has been physiologically inaccurate and harmful.
Increasing one's understanding and comfort with sexuality is vital for creating a space in therapy for all clients. Incorporating a sex-positive approach in one's practice begins with increasing one's understanding and knowledge around sexuality, as well as one's awareness of internalized cultural biases and beliefs. Using art making and dialogue, we will establish a space to learn about the cultural messages that we have and begin to create space for a healthier, more inclusive understanding of sexuality.
For more information and to register for these amazing opportunities, please visit the educational outreach website.

Bill Weidler is Employee of the Month, Reception March 22 |
|

|
 |

The Office of Human Resources is proud to announce Bill Weidler, instructional development specialist at Lovejoy Library, as the March 2019 Employee of the Month.
Please join us in congratulating Bill as the Employee of the Month:
3:30 p.m.
Friday, March 22
Lovejoy Library, outside of the Makers Lab on the first floor
You can also send Bill a congratulatory email at wweidle@siue.edu.
“Nowhere else have I found someone more committed to helping, being helpful, and to being engaged in success than Bill," said Ian Toberman, University honors program academic advisor. "He has greeted new guests as if they are the most important people on campus, and he has made us all feel comfortable when we are in the library. He is, by all accounts, the demonstration of a servant-educator.”
“In my years of experience in public service and administration, I have found few employees who daily take serious the need to satisfy the user during each interaction," said Library and Information Services Interim Dean Lydia Jackson. "Bill’s knowledge of quality to users whether training, working the information desk, or helping a colleague is unparalleled. He seems to be a walking encyclopedia of what it means to provide excellence in service.”
"I have been blessed to be in my position here for the last 7 years, with opportunities to work with great people and to be of service to coworkers, students and all visitors to the library," said Weidler.
For more information about the Employee of the Month recognition award, contact Jen Oates-Blair at joatesb@siue.edu or ext. 2127.
