  • September Dibble

    Director of WesWell, Office of Health Education

    287 High Street

    860-685-3027

    sfjohnson@wesleyan.edu

    September has her B.S. in Public Health from the University at Albany and her MPH from the Boston University School of Public Health. She is a certified tobacco treatment and health education specialist. September passionately utilizes strategic prevention and harm reduction frameworks in her prevention and health education work. She specializes in the fields of sexual health, substance use, and harm reduction. 

    September is "awkward question" ready! No question is too "dumb" or "awkward" to be asked. She wants you to have the best information to make the best choices for yourself. If she doesn't know the answer to a question, she will work with you to get you an answer and the resources you need. When September isn't working, you can find her hiking with her dog, Ollie, who is a trained therapy dog. You could also find her making something new in the kitchen or trying to find her way out of an escape room.

    September is a private campus resource. As a private campus resource, she is a responsible employee when responding to disclosures of sexual violence, intimate partner violence, or other forms of interpersonal violence. If disclosures occur, she will need to contact the Title IX Coordinator to file a report with the university that contains identifying information such as your name, and she will keep additional details of your conversation private and tell only those who need to know. This is in an effort to ensure you are supported, safe, and connected to resources and does not open a Title IX investigation.

    Amanda has her BA in Sociology and Anthropology from Spelman College and her MSW from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work. Before Wesleyan, Amanda worked in crisis advocacy and prevention education providing support to survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones. Much of this work focused specifically on campus advocacy for college students in Hartford County.  

    Amanda is passionate about facilitating education and resources to help build communities free from violence. Her commitment to this work is heavily grounded in an intersectional and trauma-informed framework. Above all else, Amanda values empowerment, respect, and autonomy for all. Outside of work you will usually find Amanda reading, listening to podcasts, or finding a new restaurant to try out. 

    Amanda is a confidential campus resource. Disclosures of sexual violence, intimate partner violence, or other forms of interpersonal violence will stay between you and Amanda and she will help get you connected to additional resources.
