Join us for the 15th Annual Jeanne Clery Lecture Series. This much needed conversation will feature sex educators, Franciso Ramirez and Bianca Laureano, in discussion around how to best navigate relationships and sex during this significant moment in our collective history.
Together, we will explore communication strategies for strengthening our relationships, what consent looks like – both in person and from a distance, ways to promote respect, and how to take care of our mental health during this challenging time.
