Students from WSU’s College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences held a fundraiser to purchase emergency contraceptives, which will be provided to students for free.
Brook Kotlarz, junior liaison of WSU’s chapter of the Washington State Pharmacy Association and chair of Pharmacists for Reproductive Education, created the fundraiser along with two other WSU pharmacy students.
The idea for this fundraiser came from wanting to improve public access to contraceptive education, Kotlarz said.
Koltarz said she is also working on a project that would provide online education events. During these events, students would be able to talk about emergency contraceptives, including how to get them and how to afford them.
