Dr. Celia Williamson
Professor of Social Work
A decade ago victims of human trafficking in Ohio were treated like criminals and
those who forced them into modern day slavery faced less severe criminal charges.
But the efforts of Celia Williamson, professor of social work, and her International Human Trafficking, Prostitution and Sex Work Conference celebrating it's tenth anniversary changed that. The conference will take place Thursday
and Friday Sept. 26-27 in the Student Union on the UT Main Campus to continue to increase
awareness and effect change. For more information visit www.prostitutionconference.com.

Geoffrey Rapp
Harold A. Anderson Professor of Law and Values
The recent $765 million settlement between the NFL and players is a win-win for both
sides, according to Rapp. The NFL hopes to put concussions behind it and move back
to the business on the field while the players obtain a sizable payout, resources
for education and a moral victory. Rapp published a paper titled Suicide, Concussions and the NFL in the Florida International University Law Review.

Director of Ritter Planetarium
The Ritter Astrophysical Research Center, which houses both the Ritter Planetarium
and a one-meter telescope, is a unique venue because professors doing cutting-dege
astrophysics cross paths with grade-schoolers learning about the solar system. The
planetarium is currently hosting the shows "Earthquake: Evidence of a Restless Planet"
and "One World, One Sky, Big Bird's Adventure." For more information visit utoledo.edu/nsm/rpbo.
