Welcome back to Truman! I hope you all have a great Spring semester! I am seeking assistance from SPHA during the week of March 23-27th for Sexual Health Awareness Week that my HLTH 260 course is hosting. We were hoping SPHA would present one night on a topic pertinent to sexual health (i.e. contraceptive options and/or STI awareness). If interested please let me know! I’ll be speaking with the Education Chair (Mischa) with more details.
