Join VRLC Deputy Director Lindy Aldrich for a
90-minute webinar exploring the safety concerns
of student survivors of sexual assault.
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Sexual assault often impacts many areas of a victim’s day-to-day life, undermining the victim’s physical and emotional safety. In the case
of campus assault, the aftermath of an assault may be particularly disruptive. Not only do student survivors face the likelihood of ongoing and hard-to-avoid contact with perpetrators, they are often entirely dependent on their college or university to provide
a safe learning environment. In this webinar, Title IX expert and Victim Rights Law Center Deputy Director Lindy Aldrich, Esq., will explore the importance—and complexities—of safety planning in a campus environment. The first hour of the webinar will include
a review of the data on victims of campus sexual assault, as well as strategies campus administrators can use to address the needs of individual students while promoting campus and community wide safety. During the final part of the webinar, participants will
have the opportunity to ask specific questions and share ideas for promoting safety on campus.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER
 Lindy
Aldrich, Esq., has been with the Victim Rights Law Center (VRLC) since 2007, beginning as a staff attorney and becoming Deputy Director in 2010. Along with managing the daily activities of the VRLC, she also manages the Boston office’s four staff attorneys
who represent hundreds of victims of sexual assault across the Commonwealth in a wide range of legal areas, including education, privacy, safety, education, immigration, and federal and state government benefits. With almost 50% of the VRLC’s clients under
the age of 24, Lindy frequently works to ensure that sexual assault victims stay their educational course, helping to curtail and ameliorate the often devastating impact of the assault on the victim’s safety, housing (dormitory or off-campus housing), employment
(after school, on or off campus job), scholarships, and extracurricular activities.
As staff on the VRLC’s national Office of Violence Against Women’s (OVW) Training and Technical Assistance
grant, Lindy trains around the country on a number of topics, including Title IX and Campus Sexual Assault Policies and Response. Lindy keeps VRLC at the forefront of this national discussion through consultations and trainings with state and national agencies,
universities, and other legal service providers. She has been a Resource Team member and trainer for the OVW Campus Program Training and Technical Assistance Institute since 2010, as well as a presenter for the Project STOP NOW! conference for campus administrators
from historically black colleges and universities. Lindy collaborates with the Clery Center for Security on Campus on webinars and conferences as a Title IX expert. In February 2014, Lindy was invited, by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from
Sexual Assault, to lend her expertise on Title IX and victim confidentiality and she continues to consult with the Task Force on these issues. In June 2014, Lindy participated in U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill’s Roundtable on Title IX. Lindy is also an Office
for Victims of Crime (OVC) Training and Technical Assistance Center trainer and, in partnership with OVC, has delivered webinars and live chats on sexual violence and education.
Lindy was named one of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly 2012 Top Women in the Law and a 2014 Boston Rising Star by the National Law Journal. Lindy attended Suffolk University Law School and was named the 2013 Outstanding
Young Alumni.
