Hoping to normalize and destigmatize discussion of sexual wellbeing at the UofA, one student has founded a new Registered Student Organization geared towards building a healthier campus community.
Grace Stoops, a sophomore, launched her new RSO Sexual Health Organization and Outreach with a brainstorming meeting April 6.Â
In October 2020, Stoops was diagnosed with herpes, a common sexually transmitted infection. Stoops said she knew very little about her diagnosis, so she spent the past six months researching STIs. Stoops said she wants to create a collaborative student organization that will meet the needs of those who want to openly discuss their sexual health.

Chancellor Joseph Steinmetz hosted a question-and-answer session via Zoom on Thursday, where he answered a number of questions regarding racism, campus fees and the recent string of reported on-campus rapes.
Steinmetz was joined by Associated Student Government President Julia Nall and Graduate Professional Student Congress President J.D. DiLoreto-Hill, both of whom relayed questions posed by attendees.
Steinmetz said around half of all UA faculty, staff and graduate instructors received vaccinations. He also thinks campus could soon resume primarily face-to-face education, he said in an opening statement. The Pat Walker Health Center became a vaccination site in February, and its staff is anticipating the arrival of 2,500 Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses, Steinmetz said.
