Respect your body....stay protected
You may have noticed this unusual display on the landing between the first and ground floor of Bailey Library. For National Condom Week, the Healthy Outreach Through Peer Education (HOPE) is running a campaign during the week of Valentines (February 11-15) called "Respect your body...stay protected". Bailey Library was chosen as one of the buildings on campus to house their display. The dress in this picture is made entirely of condoms and will soon be switched out with another mannequin wearing blue jeans and a condom vest.
