We are excited to partner with the Division Adolescent Medicine at University of Rochester Medical Center to offer The Body Project. The Body Project is a 4-week, evidenced-based body acceptance program offered in a group setting that provides a safe space for all women to confront and challenge unrealistic appearance ideals through group discussion and interactive activities!

The program seeks to give participants knowledge in developing a healthier body image and self-esteem. Open to all women who are undergraduate and graduate students. Non-binary students are welcome, but this course focuses more on topics regarding societal ideals of femme-presenting bodies than on topics related to gender identity and expression.

This is a 4-week class that will meet beginning October 4th from 4-5 PM in the University Health Service 4th floor Ralph A. Manchester Room. Giveaways included in participation!

Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we join a worldwide celebration of s*xual and gender diversity. Hate has no place on our campus, and while we do have a long way to go, you can help by being an active ally and fighting against homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia. Listen to your LGBTQ+ peers. Be open and willing to accept criticisms from those around you. Speak up, but not over, our LGBTQ+ friends.

Happy Le***an Visibility Day! The le***an community is often overlooked and dismissed, and we want to recognize and celebrate them today. In addition, we celebrate all LGBTQ+ women and non-binary folks.
