Sexual Health At Brown Rises In Trojan Ranks
Grade point averages may be taboo on Brown’s campus, but this year the University has a 3.31 according to a decidedly non-academic source - the makers of Trojan condoms.
Brown ranks 17th out of 139 U.S. colleges and universities in the third annual Trojan Sexual Health Report Card, which surveys resources and services available to students. The University moved up 22 places from 2007, when it was ranked 39th.
According to a Trojan press release, many students surveyed across the country said their health centers had improved over the past year, but a third of students said “they would not contact their health centers with questions about sexual health.”
Laurel Foglia ‘08.5, who was an M-Sex facilitator in the fall of 2007, said the University “can always do more” to provide sexual education and resources to students. For example, while Foglia said it is “pretty easy to make an appointment and go” for tests for sexually transmitted infections on campus, she added that Health Services could do more to advertise its programs.
