We know our off-campus students missed #gloveBOX this semester, so we’ve developed something just for them!
In collaboration with @uconnoffcampus, we will be hosting a safe and socially distanced “Condom Blitz” starting tomorrow! Our off-campus students can pick up free safer-sex supplies, including condoms, lubrication and dental dams!
All off-campus students are invited to stop at any one of 3 locations this week. Our UConn Sexperts and gloveBOX team will be there to provide you with supplies in a safe and socially distanced way. Masks are required!
