A B O U T S E X U A L I T Y W E E K 1 9 9 9 uring the sixteen years that Sexuality Week has been in existence at the University at Albany college students across the nation have been faced with critical issues and choices. Concerns related to gender issues, HIV/AIDS, relationships, identity, and reproductive health have remained at the forefront across time.
In recognition of the importance of the above issues for students, the programs within Sexuality Week address these key themes. In this way, we hope to meet the needs of our students as well as to provide a restrospective and prospective look at the issues.
All programs listed in on these pages will be presented or supervised by individuals with expertise in the topic area. We hope that the information that will be presented will encourage learning, dialogue, and critical thinking and will move Middle Earth forward in this mission of prevention education.
