Convened each year by WesWELL, the goal of the Sexual Health Expo to promote sexual health and responsibility and increase student knowledge of campus health resources. A variety of issues are addressed, including promoting healthy relationships, disease and pregnancy prevention, sexual violence prevention, current political issues related to sexual and reproductive rights, and more.  

To reach that goal, we are offering: 

  • Tabling & fund raisers with the WesWELL PHAs, FemNet, Clinic Escorts, ASHA, SGAC, HealthCAN, Sigma Lambda Upsilon, Health Services and Oh My! Sensuality Shoppe. 
  • Workshops presented by the WesWELL PHAs, WesKink and Sign House. 
  • And our first ever Sexual Health Art Show…you be the judge of Best in Show!!! 

Bring $$$ for fund raisers, raffles and other purchases!
