WE'VE GOT SHELBY!

We are so excited for our first film of the Spring 2009 film series, the Education of Shelby Knox...even more exciting SHELBY HERSELF will be answering questions after the film!

The Women's Resource Center Film Series: The Education of Shelby Knox

The ASUA Women's Resource Center, Planned Parenthood, and the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership are proud to show "The Education of Shelby Knox." This film addresses many timely issues surrounding abstinence-only versus comprehensive sex education through following Shelby Knox as she challenges her local community and urges them to incorporate medially-accurate comprehensive sexual health education into Texas high schools. Through this process, Shelby confronts her conflicting values, as well as the ideologies of her state, religion and family. Following the film, Shelby Knox will answer questions and facilitate a discussion.

Long-Term Development: Pushing Forward

With the constant press that has been gained over the semester for the Women's Resource Center it makes sense that the next step is to push more and more for a paid director.

The hard work and dedication of the Women's Resource Center is now paying off, and more press has been garnered leading towards a paid director.

Carly Thompsen was interviewed by the Daily Wildcat, and is promoting the goal of a paid director for the Women's Resource Center!

HIV Testing!

A very successful HIV Testing event was held today in CSIL. The Women's Resource Center, CSIL, SAAF, and AIDS Safe all collaborated to bring about this incredibly important cause, Free HIV Testing.

The event had a total of 27 tests administered, with another 42 people on a wait list to be seen.

These numbers show that there is a need for testing of this kind on campus!

Another great article was written this morning as well!
