  The Tamara Williams Memorial Lecture commemorates the life of a U-M student who was murdered by her abusive boyfriend in 1997. Tamara Sonya Williams was a College of Literature, Science, and the Arts senior living in Family Housing with her then 2-year-old daughter when she was repeatedly stabbed in her Northwoods townhouse by her boyfriend. She was posthumously awarded her U-M degree in psychology in 1998. The annual lecture also seeks to raise awareness about domestic violence and discuss the impact it has on our society.
  
  This year, the Memorial Lecture will feature Sarah M. Buel, J.D. who has spent the past 31 years working with battered women, abused children, and juveniles within the legal system. Currently, Ms. Buel is a Clinical Professor at the University Of Texas School Of Law. She teaches "Domestic Violence and the Law," criminal law, and torts courses. Ms. Buel is co-founder of the University of Texas Voices Against Violence program that has developed a system of comprehensive, coordinated services for victims of sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. She also co-founded the interdisciplinary University of Texas Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault that focuses on research, pedagogy, and direct services.
