Educational Materials and Programs
The mission of the Office of Equal Opportunity Services at Lab is to promote healthy relationships through dialogue and education, and to work towards the elimination of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct in our community. The scope of issues these prevention initiatives and programming address is quite broad, ranging from healthy relationships (including communication and sexual decision-making), bystander intervention, and the prevention and awareness of sexual assault, stalking, and relationship violence. The Office of Equal Opportunity Services coordinates programs and outreach for students at every grade level and for faculty and staff. Some of the education materials used in those programs and outreach can be found below. Resources for growth and reproduction and sexual health education can be found on Lab’s Student Wellness webpage.
