It has been a crazy Spring application cycle! With the help of Facebook, our applications for Spring Semester 2009 SafeSites nearly doubled. More than 2,100 students from over 900 campuses in 48 states applied to be SafeSites. It took awhile, but we now have 1,000 SafeSites doing amazing work on college campuses across the country. Already 400 SafeSites have recieved their boxes of condoms and 600 other SafeSites will recieve their condoms in the upcoming weeks.
What is even more exciting is all the amazing flavors we now have at the Great American Condom Campaign. We have SafeSites at traditional four year, community, technical and online colleges, but we also SafeSites at religious, military, culinary, music, art and design schools. We are on Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well as Hispanic Serving Institutions.
It’s so exciting to see college students across the country standing up to provide their peers with the information and products necessary to have sexually healthy lives!
As I’ve done in the past, here are a few of my favorite SafeSite quotes from this application cycle:
Why do you want to be a SafeSite?
“Safe sex is important, especially in a school where the high stress of engineering exams and classes for the majority of the population leads to questionable releases of stress. Providing condoms is a way to spread a good message of safety and happiness.”
SafeSite from Virginia Tech
“Don’t be a fool, wrap your tool!”
SafeSite from University of Virginia’s College at Wise
“Lubbock has a very large STI problem…This starts with no sex ed in our schools, but carries over to the University. I want to do what I can to stop the cycle. I want people to enjoy the beauty of love and sex without fear.”
SafeSite from Texas Tech University
“so everyone can do the no pants dance and know where to go to be safe about it”
SafeSite from Coastal Carolina
“…my friend came up to me and asked me if I had a condom and I told her I didn’t. The health center is closed, so unless she walks to a store she can’t get one. She told me don’t kill me, but I haven’t been using one lately. It was crazy that I saw this on facebook the same night.”
SafeSite from University of Oregon
“There is too much free lovin’ and UNSAFE sex happening on campus. Also we live in a very conservative town where the health clinic is many miles away.”
SafeSite from Prescott College
“STDs suck man”
SafeSite from UC-Irvine
Condom Policy:
“It is a catholic school and does not sell condoms on campus. Big problem because the surrounding area is not safe and kids will either make the trip for condoms or have unsafe sex.”
SafeSite from Seton Hall University
How will you distribute your condoms?
“I won a 1972 vw bus which gets a ton of attention. So I would be able to hand them out from a parking spot on campus.”
SafeSite from East Carolina University
