Sex Ed Focus Group
About the Focus Group
The focus group planned a non-heteronormative Sex Education Workshop: It’s Only Sex!, in which they gave a short presentation and broke out into guided discussions led by their very own members. The event took place on March 11th from 5:00-6:30 pm at the Michigan League in Room 4. They also had an advice panel section where speaker Dr. Cynthia Gabriel answered student questions and offered her own insight.
