G-Spot: STDs and STIs
It has been ingrained in our brains since as early as elementary school: don’t get an STD or STI. But what childhood health classes fail to explain to us is the variety of treatment, types, and resources available to us when regarding STDs/STIs.

Tips for finals week
As finals week is fast approaching, stress is beginning to mount, and more and more of us are starting to feel overwhelmed.

Invasion of Privacy: Nate Bedell and the power of writing
I don’t think it crossed Nate Bedell’s mind when he came to The Lamron’s general meeting last Thursday that he would leave being voted our next Invasion of Privacy guest. Either way, I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Nate about his on and off campus life, the importance of his writing, and an in-depth retrospective of one soon to graduate.

Earth Day event: Garden Committee plant swap
This past Earth Day, the Garden Committee held a wonderful plant swap in front of the MacVittie Union from 12-4 p.m., and what better way to commemorate the occasion? At the event you could swap, repot, or get a new plant, all for free—but, of course, donations are recommended for the wonderful Garden Committee and their hard work. All the plants available were propagated by the Garden Committee, and cute painted pots were available if you did not have one of your own.
GREAT Day
GREAT Day, an acronym for Geneseo Recognizing Excellence, Achievement & Talent, is an annual celebration of the projects, research, and extracurricular activities that students have been up to over the past year.

Invasion of Privacy: Professor Lytton Smith
“The answer is the students,” Professor Lytton Smith said when asked what he’s most proud of about the Geneseo Creative Writing department. “The ambition and the variety and the adventurousness of the students. And students is the wrong word, because you’re all writers. But you have to put in there that I’m inspired by it, although it’s not mine to be proud of, although I kind of am—does that make sense?”
Chosen family and creative liberation with POSE star Ryan Jamaal Swain
On Thursday, Apr. 7, actor and dancer Ryan Jamaal Swain served the role of Geneseo’s LGBTQ+ History Month Keynote Speaker and engaged in a dialogue, Q+A, and autograph session with Geneseo students and faculty.

Fire safety and fire checks
As we transition into spring, it is important to make sure that our dorms do not contain any fire hazards as fire safety checks begin.

Invasion of Privacy: Emi Kanemoto
As famous Socrates once said, “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” Emi Kanemoto stated that she encourages the students of SUNY Geneseo to adopt a similar mindset—to keep learning, reflecting and exploring yourself and your community. Kanemoto is a professor in the Department of Communication and is a Director of the LIVES program on campus.
Ramen Event!
Looking for a sense of belonging and new food? Look no further than the Community Garden Coalition! On Thursday, Mar. 31, the Coalition hosted a lovely ramen night in the Interfaith Center.

A wonderful Sunday wellness workshop hosted by Yoga Club

G-Spot: Contraception, birth control, and sexual health
Throughout our entire lives, we learn about the various forms of contraception and birth control, but what these lessons often fail to do is explore the ins and outs of each method available to us. While most birth control methods listed in this article pertain to people with a vulva, there are some tips and tricks on how all couples can use condoms and other methods to protect against pregnancy and/or STD’s. Let’s go over some of these methods and what you need to know to pick the right type of birth control for you.

Invasion of Privacy: Sarah Sharples
“Actually, I water my plants first,” said editor-in-chief of The Lamron Sarah Sharples when asked about the first thing they do in the morning. “Then I brush my teeth, then I meditate. This is why I get the least relatable character on a Buzzfeed quiz.”
