Macalester Sexy Education
Welcome to the Sexy Portal! Here you can find out more about what Sexy is, as well as access the resources we provide: Safer Sex Kits, handouts related to sex, recorded trainings sessions and more!
What is Sexy?
Sexy is a student-led program out of the Hamre Center for Health and Wellness designed to create a shared culture of sexual respect on Macalester's campus. Every fall, student trainers teach the basics of sexual health and consent to all first-years. Our program strives to be inclusive of all gender identities and expressions and sexual orientations. Sexy also hosts events related to sexual health and respect throughout the year. We know that not all Mac students are having sex; but knowledge is important for now, the future, and for helping a friend in need.
