Free Condoms
Recreation and Wellness has partnered with Ottawa County Department of Public Health to provide free condoms to GVSU students while increasing awareness and promoting acceptance of condom use by college students. Our goal is to help reduce STI/D's in our community. At GVSU, 74% of students are sexually active.
