SPH Club Updates
Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice Club
The Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice Club is seeking officers to replace graduating club leaders. If you are interested in the field, please consider running for a club office and/or voting in the officer election. Zoom details provided to those who email current club president Polly Faust at polly.smithfaust42@sphmail.cuny.edu.
A new president, treasurer, secretary, and events coordinator will be needed, but the current officers are now capstone-free and able to help new officers get up to speed on club proceedings.
Graduating Students: If you, like the friendly Repro Club officers, have just completed a capstone on Sexual or Reproductive Health, Rights, or Justice and want to share your 5-minute capstone presentation link with club members curious about SPH student work in this field, please email polly.smithfaust42@sphmail.cuny.edu
Congratulations!
