About our presenter:

Dr. Dina Nielsen currently serves as the Director of Student Services and Financial Aid at the Davis Technical College in Kaysville, Utah, where she is surrounded by a fantastic team of people who are as passionate about preventing sexual assault as she is. Before Davis Technical College, Dina served in a variety of capacities at colleges from Ohio to Arizona to Las Vegas, including Utah State University and Southern Utah University. She has also served in several non-profit capacities, including chairing Relay for Life events in Findlay, Ohio, Cedar City, Utah, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Additionally, she was an active member of Voices of the River, a choir in Mohave County, Arizona, that supports scholarship development at Mohave Community College. Dina holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from Weber State University; a Master’s of Social Science from Utah State University; and a doctoral degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Her dissertation focuses on how campus legends, rituals, traditions, and symbolism influence place attachment in students.

She is especially proud of the work she has done with the Cosmetology program at Davis Technical College, partnering with Safe Harbor to teach future professionals to identify signs of violence during services and intervening when clients disclose domestic or sexual violence, a training program that has recently been made into law by the state of Illinois.
