Dear Colleagues:
I am excited to share with you good news about my good friend, colleague, and co-editor of the American Journal of Sexuality Education, Elizabeth Schroeder, Ed.D., M.S.W., and one of the most vital organizations addressing sexuality education, Answer (based at Rutgers University).

On September 2, 2008 Dr. Schroeder will join Answer as their new executive director. Dr. Schroeder brings to Answer over 15 years of experience as an internationally known trainer, consultant and author in the areas of sexuality education, youth development, curriculum and counseling. Dr. Schroeder is best known for providing trainings throughout the United States and overseas to thousands of youth-serving professionals, adolescents and parents and shares Answer’s firm belief that teens have a right to honest and accurate sexuality education.

The co-founding editor of the American Journal of Sexuality Education, Dr. Schroeder has written extensively about sexuality. She is the co-author of Making SMART Choices: A Curriculum for Young People and Being Out, Staying Safe: An STD Prevention Curriculum for LGBQ Youth; she also authored chapters in Health Counseling: Applications and Theory and The Continuum Complete International Encyclopedia of Sexuality and contributed a lesson to the curriculum, New Expectations: Sexuality Education for Mid- and Later Life. She was also editor of Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Controversial Issues in Family and Personal Relationships, 5th, 6th and 7th editions.

Most recently, Dr. Schroeder served as an assistant professor at Montclair State University. She is also the former associate vice president of education and training at Planned Parenthood of New York City, and before that, was the manager of education and special projects at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Dr. Schroeder has been recognized with numerous honors throughout her career, including the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists' Schiller Prize for her approach to teaching Internet safety to youth, and the Association of Planned Parenthood Leaders in Education’s Mary Lee Tatum award, which is given annually to "the person who most exemplifies the qualities of an ideal sexuality educator." She currently chairs the SIECUS Board of Directors, and has served on numerous local and state Task Forces and committees. She holds a Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University and a Doctorate of Education from Widener University.

Most importantly, Dr. Schroeder has a passion for Answer’s mission to provide and promote comprehensive sexuality education to young people and the adults who teach them. Answer's staff and board are confident that her enthusiasm and strong leadership will help them reach their goal of ensuring high-quality sexuality education for young people and amplifying their voices around this issue.

As of September 2, Dr. Schroeder’s contact information will be:
