The Rotary Club of Sint Maarten recently completed a successful cyber-bullying seminar with more than 300 in attendance. International expert on bullying, cyber-bullying, and appropriate social networking media safety protocols, Dr. Sameer Hindjua presented to those in attendance at L B Scott Auditorium on the Friday, February 10, 2017.
Dr. Hinduja is widely accepted as one of the world’s top experts on topics of safe social networking and cyber-bullying. Dr. Hinduja is Co-Director of the Cyberbullying Research Center (cyberbullying.org) and Professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). During his session with St. Maarten youth, Dr. Hindjua used real time technology to interact with the audience and to personalize his presentation to the youth of St. Maarten in a meaningful way.
John Caputo, the Secretary and President-elect of the Rotary Club Sint Maarten said, “We are very fortunate to have Dr. Hinduja with us on our island. From the discussions that have already taken place with our young people and their parents, we are already better equipped to handle cyber-bullying and improper online behavior. Just talking about it, often makes a world that seems scary, so much more manageable. Thank you Dr. Hinduja. I would also be remiss if I didn’t thank the many friends of Rotary that made this event possible.”
