Menstrual Hygiene Products

Menstrual Hygiene Products are integral to many student’s mental, physical and emotional health. Menstruation should not be stigmatized, and providing easy access to menstrual hygiene products is our goal.

Over the past decade the development and distribution of menstrual hygiene has been a collective care effort across campus from student leaders and administrators from the Health and Well-being Unit and the Facilities team. At the present time, we are exploring a sustainable model and oversight of this collective effort. If you have any questions regarding this initiative, please contact Heather Sadowski, Director of Health Promotion at hsadowsk@richmond.edu or Scott Lincoln, Associate Director of Custodial and Environmental Services at slincoln@ricmond.edu.
