The induction ceremony is usually held on the third Saturday of March, in observance of Women\u2019s History Month. The University of Maine at Augusta maintains a permanent Maine Women\u2019s Hall of Fame display of photographs and citations for all honorees in the Bennett D. Katz Library.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is wonderful to see professor Caron\u2019s long career in education, research and advocacy be recognized with her induction into the Maine Women\u2019s Hall of Fame,\u201d says UMaine President Joan Ferrini-Mundy. \u201cGenerations of UMaine students and people statewide and beyond know of her pioneering work and dedication to the importance of inclusion for all. The UMaine community extends congratulations to this alumna (UMaine \u201979, \u201982G) for this impressive statewide honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caron, an Orono resident, is a pioneer in sexuality education, widely known throughout Maine, respected nationally and internationally for her creative teaching and groundbreaking research in sexuality education. Her involvement and contributions to UMaine and in the state have touched countless lives and contributed to inclusivity in communities.<\/p>\n
Since joining the UMaine faculty in 1988, Caron has taught undergraduate and graduate courses, including the popular undergraduate course in human sexuality. She is also a member of the women\u2019s, gender and sexuality studies faculty. In the span of her UMaine career, Caron has taught over 25,000 students.<\/p>\n
She also has devoted countless hours to projects that advance a more inclusive and socially just society and university community. Her influence is wide-ranging, having mentored hundreds of students from Maine.<\/p>\n
Caron\u2019s research and publications focus on the social-sexual development of young people. She is a licensed clinical professional counselor specializing in sexuality-related issues and has authored several books on sexuality, including \u201cSex Matters for College Students: Sex FAQs in Human Sexuality\u201d (2nd Edition); \u201cSex Around the World: Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Human Sexuality\u201d; and a children\u2019s book, \u201cBirds and Bees and More: How Babies Are Made and Families Form\u201d. Her newest book is based on her research over the past 30 years, \u201cThe Sex Lives of College Students: Three Decades of Attitudes and Behaviors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caron received the University of Maine Alumni Association\u2019s 2019 Distinguished Maine Professor Award that recognizes the highest qualities of teaching, research and public service. She received UMaine\u2019s 1998 Presidential Outstanding Teaching Award and the 2002 Presidential Public Service Award. In 2013, she was recognized by the Mabel Wadsworth Women\u2019s Health Center for her lifelong contribution to sexual and reproductive health, and in 1999, she received the Margaret Vaughn award from the Maine Family Planning for her outstanding contribution to sexuality education.<\/p>\n
Caron received her bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees from UMaine, and her Ph.D. from Syracuse University.<\/p>\n
Caron is a member of the American Association of Sex Educators Counselors and Therapists, and The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.<\/p>\n
