Wanna Make Out? A Conversation About Consent

April 14 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Join us for a powerful presentation with Dr. Lori Bednarchik, one of the nation’s leading experts on sexual consent and communication who is known for her skills-based, sex-positive approach to consent and communication. In the age of #MeToo and #TimesUp, and an increasingly divided discussion of sexual misconduct, she is a refreshing, uncensored, uninhibited, and positive voice.

This cutting-edge session breaks down what affirmative consent (“yes means yes”) actually looks like in real life, with an emphasis on communication that is:

  • Clear and mutual
  • Ongoing and enthusiastic
  • Discussed before, during, and after sexual activity

Learn practical strategies for navigating real-world situations, including how to respond to mixed signals, communicate boundaries with confidence, and understand how alcohol can affect communication and decision-making.

Bonus: Students who complete a brief survey after the presentation will be entered into a drawing for giveaways.
