Geoffrey Catlett, Director of the Army SHARP Academy, present a graduation certificate to Mr. Santiago L. Orta, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii. Orta is one of 32 graduates of the SHARP Academy’s Baseline Certification Course which provides the Army with trained Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and Victim Advocates. Cmd. Sgt. Maj. Turnbull praised the efforts of the graduates who are on the front line of the Army’s efforts to combat and eliminate sexual harassment and sexual assault from the Army and issued the graduates with a challenge. “We need to stay at it every day,” Turnbull said. “History has shown that the Army can drive social change and I know that we can lead change in this effort too because we have a great group of people like you who will make the difference.” (US Army Photo by Scott Gibson)
