Sharon Love To Speak At College Transition Event

The mother of slain Cockeysville native Yeardley Love will be the keynote speaker at an upcoming seminar in Arbutus focused on safety as kids transition from high school to college.

Sharon Love, mother of Yeardley Love, will speak next month at the Arbutus Library Meeting Room during a seminar called "Transition to College: Be Safe" aimed at helping high school seniors and their parents with the challenges of starting college life.

The seminar will be held from 6:30-8:15 p.m. at the Arbutus Library, 855 Sulphur Spring Rd. A .pdf flier for the event is attached to this article.

Yeardley Love was killed by ex-boyfriend George Huguely V while attending college at the University of Virginia in 2010. They had a troubled relationship.

Huguely was sentenced to 23 years in prison by a Charlottesville, VA judge in August 2012.

Sharon Love will be joined by a panel of experts from University of Maryland, Baltimore County and the Community College of Baltimore County who will address issues ranging from relationship violence and campus safety to partying, binge drinking, time management and mental health.

The event is sponsored by the Wilkens Police & Community Relations Council and Soroptimist International of Arbutus. Seating for the event is limited.
