The SexEd office in the Champlain building has become a vital resource for students at our college. Its prominent location in the main lobby is not just a practical matter; it is a symbol of our dedication to inclusion, acceptance, health promotion, and belonging. For countless students, this office serves as more than just a place to learn. It's where they find support, community, and reassurance that their college is a safe and accepting environment.

We, a diverse group of students, staff, and alumni, are deeply concerned about the college's recent decision to relocate the SexEd office to a less visible location. This move risks sending a message that topics around sexual health and education should be hidden or marginalized. At a time when sexual health awareness is more critical than ever, we believe visibility matters. Keeping the office in a central, accessible location ensures that every student, regardless of their background or identity, can easily access the vital resources provided.

Statistics from reputable organizations like the American College Health Association have demonstrated that accessible sexual health resources on campuses lead to healthier student populations and more inclusive communities. By moving the SexEd office, we risk compromising these gains and undermining our commitment to a campus that supports all of its members.

Given this, That Relocating the office to a less visible location suggests that sexual health education and LGBTQ+ inclusion should be hidden rather than celebrated and supported. We respectfully ask the college to reconsider its decision.

Please join us in urging the college administration to keep the SexEd office in its current location. Every student's voice counts in this matter, and your support is crucial for maintaining its visibility where it's most impactful. Sign the petition today to stand with us for an inclusive, informed, and supportive campus.
