Approximately 10 students attended events Monday to discuss sexuality awareness on the first night of the Associated Students of Madison Diversity Week.
ASM Diversity Committee Chair Mia Akers said although the event did not receive the turnout she had hoped, she remains optimistic for the week’s other events.
The LGBT Campus Center and Sex Out Loud provided workshops discussing sexual awareness while the Ten Percent Society, another LGBT student organization, provided a screening of “Saving Face,” a film exploring reluctance to go public with issues of sexuality.
“I thought [the movie] touched on a lot of intersectionality, from sexual orientation to culture to race and ethnicity, which sometimes aren’t captured by mainstream media,” Akers said.
Student organizations, including Badgers from the Heart, Gluten Free Badgers and Badgers for Developmental Disability, will host events exploring disability awareness Tuesday. Disability Day will conclude with a panel of speakers from the McBurney Center. All events will be held in the Humanities Building.
