Catalog 2016-2017

Sexual Health

According to the World Health Organization, "Sexual health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination, and violence."

In order to help students gain a greater understanding of the various aspects of sexual health, the Student Activities Office, in conjunction with the Student Support Services Office, offers educational programming on this subject throughout the academic year. Topics may include information on safe sex practices, treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, intimacy in relations, and individual rights in sexual encounters.

The director of student activities and the director of student support services post notices in advance to announce these seminars. They also post information on the college website, on electronic message boards, and on bulletin boards around each campus.
