In 2017, the University of Central Oklahoma received a grant to work with the National Campaign to Prevent Unplanned and Teen Pregnancy. Inspired by this grant, faculty, students, and staff worked together with the Women's Research Center and BGLTQ+ Student Center on campus to create an evidence-based and sex-positive sexual health curriculum for one of UCO’s core classes taught in both face-to-face and online formats. This roundtable will discuss the challenges and successes involved with implementing a comprehensive sexual education curriculum on a college campus where many students have received little to no sexual health education before college. It will also explore the creation of peer sexual health educators or Sexual Health Ambassadors at UCO. This panel will offer a discussion of transformative strategies for teaching comprehensive sexual health in the classroom. Participants will reflect on how to engage your entire community in discussions about sex positivity on campus.
