Invitation
Hi Students, Faculty, and Staff of UTK!
We're the co-founders and co-chairs of SEAT (Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee) and Sex Week. SEAT is the student organization that will organize and present Sex Week each year at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
History
The first Sex Week was held at Yale University in 2002, and Harvard, Brown, and other prestigious universities quickly adopted the tradition. Ten years later, the Issues Committee of the Central Programming Council brought Megan Andelloux, a prominent sexologist, to speak to Tennessee students on topics of sexuality. After an extremely warm reception, two UT students decided to collaborate to expand and bring Sex Week to the University of Tennessee, making our school one of the first ten universities in the country to host a Sex Week.
Core Values
Open-mindedness
Advocate for a comprehensive understanding of sex and sexuality and cultivate dialogue on these topics.
