Volunteer at the Avon Breast Cancer Walk!

Hello, Everyone!

Stephanie Smith-Waterman (one of our fabulous FIRs) has found an amazing community service program for you all to attend! It will be held on Saturday, October 6th. We will meet in the lobby of our building at 8am and travel uptown to volunteer at the Breast Cancer Walk. All participants will receive FREE t-shirts and get the chance to really reach out and spread hope and awareness for the men and women who have been affected by this disease. You may sign-up on Holly's door (room 604) if you wish to volunteer, or you can sign-up via email with Stephanie ssw228@nyu.edu. Please sign-up by Wednesday, October 3rd so we can know how many t-shirts to get for everyone. I encourage you all to participate if you can, because it's going to be a blast! *All of the info is listed below!*

'Sex Toys for Safer Sex' was a Hit!

Greetings Gender and Sexuality Streamers!

The "Sex Toys for Safer Sex" program had an AMAZING turn-out! I want to thank you all (and those who joined us from other streams) for your enthusiasm, participation, and respect for those with questions and comments! The conversation was fun and informative, and the pop culture references were very delightful. I would also like to give a HUGE shout-out and thank you to Lauren Jones and Andrea Gomez for being fabulous facilitators for this event! Thank you so much G&S streamers! I hope to see you at our next event!

Milk, Cookies, Maxim, and Great Dialogue!

Greetings, Gender and Sexuality Streamers! I wanted to post an official "thank you" for all of you who were able to attend Milk, Cookies, and Maxim. You all had such wonderful and interesting things to say about media, society, race, sexuality, and how the power of advertising perpetuates gender stereotyping and the success of these magazines. You are all so knowledgeable in so many different areas and it was great to see that all come together at this program. It was a wonderful way to kick off the first official program for our stream, and I know it's just a small sample of the awesomeness that is yet to come! Have a great weekend!
