BUILDING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS ON CAMPUS

WHO

WE ARE

Our mission is to engage students to build healthy relationships on campus.  No matter who you are, you will be empowered by knowing!  What tools can we students be given to assess our relationships? How can we nagivate relationship patterns, behaviors, and attitudes among fellow peers, friends, and couples?  How are we moving forward as a community?  This is our love revolution.     

 

Our student-run teacher's program, PICK a Partner (Premarital, Interpersonal, Choices, and Knowledge) sparked by Love Thinks, LLC, is designed to give students the tools, skills, and forum to develop, discover, and self-assess their relationships.  We recognize that there is pressure on campus for students to regard sex and relationships casually and, thus, we want to give a voice to fellow students who value sexual integrity and seek a space to exchange a genuine dialogue around these issues. We welcome the Columbia community into a rich and intellectual conversation on love, sexual integrity, commitment, and expression in sex, marriage, and family. 

​

We will refer to Dr. John Van Epp, author of How to Avoid Falling For a Jerk or Jerkette, and to his Relationship Attachment Model (R.A.M.).  Columbia Unhooked will reflect on social and cultural issues regarding sexual integrity, host P.I.C.K. classes, and organize relationship mentor training sessions.  We will also work alongside the nationwide Love and Fidelity Network to invite speakers and send students to their two annual Princeton conferences.
