Healthy Sexuality Week offers events Feb. 7-10

by Kathleen McCoy  |   

Support Healthy Sexuality Week by encouraging your students to attend the following interactive presentations on campus. Even better, offer them extra credit for attending the activities.

Not Just a Pretty Face: Beauty Myths and Toxics in Personal Care Products
Tuesday, Feb. 8, Noon
Student Union, South Cafeteria
Join author and activist Stacy Malken to discuss her book, "Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry," and learn more about the products you are using. Are they safe? Why are there so much pressure to wear makeup? Can we demand our personal care products are non-toxic and safe to use?

Everything I Know About Sex I Learned from 'Glee'
Tuesday, Feb. 8, 6 p.m.
The Commons, Lower Dining
Sex is discussed everywhere -- on TV, in books, magazines and among friends. How much of this information is accurate? We'll use "Glee" to help us sort out truth from fiction and have fun while doing it. Then, we'll serve popcorn and watch the next episode of "Glee."

Know Your Status Day
Wednesday, Feb. 9, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Rasmuson Hall, Student Health and Counseling Center
All Student Health and Counseling Center eligible students are encouraged to come in for this day of free testing. This is a $50 value for free. Tests include HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and C and HSV (herpes). NOTE: Please do not urinate for one hour prior to testing. No other food or drink limitations. Take charge of your health and know your status.

Resource Fair
Thursday, Feb. 10, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Rasmuson Hall

Sexy Jeopardy
Thursday, Feb. 10, 6 p.m.
The Commons, Lower Dining
Come impress your friends with your knowledge of sexuality information, from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to pop culture and sex and music. The game will run like the popular game show, with answers provided and participants providing the question. Teams can be organized that night before the game. Winning teams will win prizes such as Alyeska gift cards, iTunes gift cards, gift cards for local restaurants and more.
