Indiana State University: Counselor Day on Campus

SAVE THE DATE for Counselor Day on Campus 2024

Counselor Day on Campus will take place on Wednesday February 7, 2024 8am-3:30 in University Hall, Indiana State University.  

We are excited to welcome Erin Merryn, author, activist, speaker, wife, mother, and the Force behind Erin’s Law, as the keynote speaker.  

In 2008 she began writing legislators to require personal body safety be taught to kids in school. This decision has brought her on a crusade across America to pass what is known as Erin’s Law. Erin’s Law is the first US child sexual abuse prevention education law requiring children be educated in schools. Erin has been traveling state to state testifying to lawmakers to pass Erin’s law for 7 years. It is currently passed in 37 states as of January 2021. In December 2015 President Obama signed the federal version of Erin’s Law providing federal funding for schools to use. It was the first federal bill passed funding sexual abuse prevention education.
