Please let me know if you are interested or know some others, namely students, who may be interested in presenting. Happy to talk more about the gaps we are looking to fill.  The pilot cohort will launch next week. Students must sign-up by Monday 2/17. What? A 6-week, online (via e-mail) sexual health program. Why? Sex is part of so many of our students’ lives and everyone encounters thoughts and questions about sex and sexuality, yet so many students get insufficient sex education. Filling the gaps in sexual health knowledge and encouraging healthy sexual habits improves overall health and wellness and can support some of the questions you may have. When? Registration is open until February 17th, first lesson goes out February 19th. SIGN UP HERE! Who? ALL students! We want any and all interested students to join our pilot cohort for this exciting new program!
