Consent Fest, a peer-to-peer education program on safe and respectful sexual relations, welcomes students Friday, Oct. 28, at 3 p.m. in Case Center.

All are invited to the Spa and Saratoga Room, on Case's first floor, between 3 and 5 p.m. for a magical, Harry Potter–themed Consent Fest—including snacks.  

Hosted by Skidmore's specially trained peer health educators, the program is being billed as "a sex-positive event focused on educating students about topics such as safe sex, sexuality and gender diversity, communication, relationship health, body image, and consent."  Its sexual-health activities have been prepared by more than 20 collaborating student clubs, performance groups, and committees.

The peer health educators work in concert with Skidmore's Health Promotion Office
