On Thursday, Albion students played games like Pin the Dick on the Dick and Menstrual Cup Pong at the second annual Sexual Wellness Fair, hosted by Albion’s Students for Reproductive Justice. The fair, which took place in the Science Center atrium, was SRJ’s largest event of the year. Planned Parenthood, Sexual Assault Services of Battle Creek, the Calhoun County Health Department, Diversability, Albion College Democrats, LGBriTs, IFC, WGSS Committee, Anna Howard Shaw Center for Gender Equity and the Center for Sustainability and the Environment co-sponsored the event.
The fair featured multiple booths centered on sexual wellness education. During the event, students collected safe sex materials and sexual health pamphlets while playing party games with an SRJ twist.
In conjunction with the Sexual Wellness Fair, the college also held a moment of silence during the event for the victims of the Club Q shooting, which took place recently in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
