Two Conversations Students Need

Dr. Lisha’s college programs focus on two major student needs: understanding who they are as they move into adult life, and understanding what happens after sexual assault, including trauma, identity disruption, disclosure, support, and healing.

Graduate Being Yourself

Identity Awareness, Self-Leadership & Life After College

Students spend years preparing for a career, meeting expectations, and earning a degree. Many reach graduation without examining how family, culture, relationships, trauma, achievement pressure, and other people’s definitions of success have shaped who they believe they are.

Graduate Being Yourself helps students recognize those influences, clarify their values, strengthen personal boundaries, and make decisions from a clearer sense of identity.

Best for: senior-year programming, leadership development, career readiness, student engagement, honors programs, student success, and campus-wide events.

Sexual Assault Awareness, Trauma & Healing

Understanding What Happens After Sexual Assault

This survivor-centered program focuses on what happens after sexual assault, including trauma responses, identity disruption, shame, disclosure, rebuilding safety, survivor agency, and how friends and campus communities respond without causing additional harm.

The program is designed to complement existing prevention, advocacy, counseling, Title IX, and campus support services rather than duplicate them.

Best for: Sexual Assault Awareness Month, wellness programming, survivor advocacy, fraternity and sorority education, health promotion, residence life, student affairs, and collaborative campus events.

Ways We Can Work Together

Campus needs vary, so Dr. Lisha offers several ways to bring these conversations to students, leaders, faculty, and campus communities.

Keynote

A focused 45 to 60-minute campus keynote with audience Q&A, pre-event planning, and customized campus messaging.

Keynote + Workshop

A keynote followed by a 60 to 90-minute interactive workshop for deeper application with student leaders, organizations, wellness groups, or selected audiences.

Campus Experience Day

A customized campus experience that can include keynote programming, workshops or breakout sessions, Q&A or panel conversation, and additional student engagement opportunities.

Custom campus programming is also available for leadership development, orientation, wellness initiatives, senior-year programming, student success, faculty and staff development, classroom experiences, and collaborative campus events.

Designed Around Your Campus

Every institution has different students, priorities, initiatives, and programming goals.

Dr. Lisha’s programs can be adapted for leadership development, wellness initiatives, student success, orientation, senior-year programming, women’s programming, campus-wide events, classroom experiences, faculty and staff development, or collaborative programming across departments.

Programs can be delivered as a keynote, workshop, campus experience day, leadership retreat, panel discussion, classroom lecture, virtual event, or customized multi-session experience.

The goal is to align the program with your audience, institutional priorities, and the outcomes you want students to leave with.

INSTITUTIONAL ALIGNMENT & EXPERTISE

Student-Centered

Every keynote is designed around the realities students are navigating now.

Practical

Students leave with language, frameworks, reflection tools, and clear next steps.

Customizable

Programs can be aligned with wellness, leadership, belonging, retention, orientation, women's programming, or student success.

Transformational

The experience moves beyond motivation toward identity, meaning, purpose, resilience, and authentic becoming.

Flexible

Available as a keynote, workshop, campus day, retreat, classroom lecture, panel, virtual event, or faculty-development experience.
