Workshop: A more inclusive sexuality education

Sex Education week makes cameo at Washington State University

By David Blehm

Graduate assistant Kelley Wilds, who also serves as a WSU ROAR program instructor, recently received funding from the organization SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change to coordinate an awareness event on WSU campus during the Sex Ed Week in Action.

Wilds will be hosting an event on Monday, February 13th in room 204 at the CUB. The event will include an evening of storytelling and raising awareness for inclusive sexuality education.

“The desired outcome of this event is to raise awareness for sexuality education that is inclusive to everyone,” Wilds said. “In addition to learning about sex education facts, this event will be interactive and allow for attendees to learn about other experiences with sex education.”

In collaboration with WSU ROAR and the LGBTQ+ Center, all WSU students are welcome to join this event to learn more about inclusive sex education and have the opportunity to share personal experiences with sex education while learning about other perspectives.

“By sharing our stories, we can change the narrative through awareness and empowerment,” Wilds said.
