Milstein said of her appointment, “As an educator and a human rights advocate, I am excited to have an opportunity to reach beyond traditional avenues of learning I look forward to crafting programs and creating opportunities that will change the way people learn about sexuality and help them live their lives in ways that reflect our fundamental human right to sexual freedom.”
As diirector of education and outreach, Milstein will oversee the process of workshop selection for Woodhull's annual Sexual Freedom Summit.
