Student Sexuality Information Service is an on-campus organization
devoted to promoting the sexual health of the Brandeis University community
through various services. We are all students volunteering our time
to SSIS. We are a non-profit organization, so we sell everything at
or below cost. Our services are completely confidential. Nothing you
tell us will leave SSIS, and, with the exception of borrowing our books,
we never even ask you for your name.
We are located in the Shapiro Campus Center on the third floor. Climb the stairs in the student center to the top and take a right, bearing left at a fork. You should see a sign advertising our
hours at the end of the hall. Enter the lounge to the right and we are in the first office to the left.
We are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 to 5:00 pm, and Thursdays from 12:00 to 7:00 pm.
You may contact us in various ways. You can drop in anytime during our office hours (see above). You can also
call us at (781) 736-3695 (or x6-3695 on-campus). We have voice mail
when we're closed. You may e-mail us at ssis@brandeis.edu, or IM us on AOL Instant Messanger at SSISBrandeis.
For questions and comments related to the website, e-mail our webmaster at jritz@brandeis.edu.
We sell various forms of safer sex products (including male and
female condoms, dental dams, personal lubricants, and spermicides) and
contraceptives at inexpensive, clinic prices. We also
sell home pregnancy tests, and the wonderful alternative menstrual products, the Keeper and the Divacup. We only sell to members of the Brandeis community
who come to our office. We cannot mail or ship any product via campus
or US Mail. You can view our menu here.
We are always willing to answer any questions and address any
concerns you may have. We are available for confidential one-on-one
peer counseling on a drop-in basis. Questions do not necessarily have
to be limited to those of a sexual nature. There is usually at least
one female in the office at all times, so students who feel more comfortable
talking to a female have that opportunity. We also encourage students
to e-mail us questions.
We have an extensive library of sexuality-related books that
may be borrowed. There is a 2 book limit to the number of books you may borrow,
although we do require your name and phone number when you borrow our
books.
We serve as a reference service as well. We have available the
locations and phone numbers for various on-campus
and off-campus
doctors, clinics, and hotlines.
We hold dorm raps with dormitory halls throughout the school
year. During each dorm rap we discuss safer sex and contraception issues
with the students. If you are a residential advisor at Brandeis who
would like a dorm rap conducted in your hall, please contact us.
We welcome questions, comments, and suggestions about our services
and this web page. You may e-mail us at ssis@brandeis.edu
or contact us as mentioned above.
