On Thursday, September 13 the Student AIDS Organization will be hosting River Huston's "Sex 101: Surviving the Weekend". The presentation, which will cover issues related to safe sex, alcohol use and sexual assault, will take place at 7 p.m. in Clark Lounge, Egbert Hall. Everyone is welcome.
In this lively, interactive forum, Huston will explore with her audience realistic options for college students when it comes to sex, alcohol and communication. She will discuss her personal experience of having survived an alcohol-related sexual assault, her own alcohol abuse and living sober through college only to be diagnosed HIV positive two weeks before she was to graduate.
A popular lecturer at conferences, corporate events and college campuses around the country, Huston has been featured on “Good Morning America,” “Nightline,” NBC News and CNN. She is the coauthor of “A Positive Life: Portraits of Women Living with HIV,” which was honored with the Dorothea Lange/Paul Taylor Prize, and the creator of “Goddess: A New Guide to Feminine Wisdom.” She has also written three books of poetry and was named the poet laureate of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
