Talking Sex at Owens Community College

Two of my biggest fans stop by the Owens CC presentation!

I finally wrapped up my fall “speaking tour” – with a presentation at Owens Community College in Toledo, Ohio. Although I have spent many years in Ohio in my life, I had not been back for a long time.  As a kid my family visited Toledo many times since my grandparents lived there.  When I got older I eventually moved to Granville, Ohio for my undergraduate work.  After getting my degree in psychology, I ended up moving to Newark, Ohio for my first post-college job at Planned Parenthood.  So I have lots of history in Ohio (but truth be told, I’m a huge Michigan fan……..).

Enough reminiscing – let me first apologize for taking so long to get these final “tour” photos up on my blog.  I had some issues with the photo lighting and I think they are better now.  Much thanks to everyone at Owens for their help getting me there AND helping pull off the presentation!  Special thanks to Dr. Lorry Cology, who teaches the human sexuality course at Owens; Dr. Denise Shuster, the Chair of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department; Chris Zasada & Nick Army, my computer experts from IT; and Patty Parr & Janise Turso from Cengage Learning.  I hope everyone enjoyed the presentation and left with a better understanding of the importance of culture when it comes to evaluating sexuality.  I’d love to hear your thoughts!
