We are thrilled to present Dr. Ruth Westheimer as the keynote speaker for the first Annual Jewish Awareness Month at Virginia Tech. Dr. Ruth is a world-renowned author, lecturer and most notably, sex therapist. She has won numerous awards and honors for her efforts to raise “sexual literacy.” Additionally, she has twice been named “College Lecturer of the Year.”
Dr. Ruth is a holocaust survivor and child of German parents who perished at the hands of the Nazis. At the age of seventeen, she immigrated to Israel and fought for the country’s independence as part of the Haganah, the Jewish underground resistance. She immigrated to the United States in 1956 where she obtained her Masters Degree in Sociology from the Graduate Faculty of the New School of Social Research. In 1970, she received a Doctorate of Education in the Interdisciplinary Study of the Family from Columbia University Teacher's College. Currently Dr. Ruth teaches as a professor and lecturer at New York University, Princeton University and Yale University.
