Liz Seccuro is a keynote speaker, journalist, and producer who appears regularly before audiences of athletes, college students and administrators, law enforcement officials and legal professionals. Seccuro speaks on our current crisis of gender-based violence, what we’ve achieved and how we can do better. Engaging, witty and non-judgmental, she balances her own traumatic story and hard-won rehabilitation efforts with contemporary stories of survival and justice that leave audience members with a lingering sense of purpose, resolution and hope.
Seccuro looks forward to addressing how the new White House administration and its key players affect our work as advocates for sexual assault victims and how Title IX, OCR and campus issues may be addressed going forward. Seccuro will dive in as we explore our new landscape.
Liz is married to fellow UVU alum Mike Seccuro, and they make Los Angeles their home together with Ava, 14, and Leo, age 8.
