Marti Rosen-Atherton is the Coordinator and Instructor in the Freshman Success Courses, a professional counselor, and an academic advisor for Student Development Services. She also serves as a university Ombudsman and teaches one of our largest and most popular courses - Health Concepts of Sexual Development. Away from the University, Marti is a private practice psychotherapist specializing in individual and couples' counseling with adults. She is constantly sought out as a speaker.

One of her supporters wrote, "There are few professors at any university who touch the lives of their students in deep and lasting ways. Marti is one such instructor." Another wrote, "Marti offers a casual, yet comprehensive approach to some often sensitive subject matter in her class. Her treatment of each topic is direct honest and straight forward. This approach makes her acceptable and believable to the majority of students."
