Sex Under the Influence In college, Joel was a model student – fraternity president, involved in all the activities, knew all the administrators. But when it came time for parties, Joel learned to mix sex and alcohol. Like many students, most of Joel’s sexual encounters came under the influence. Alcohol gave him the extra courage he needed that night, and a justification the next morning. The pattern continued after graduation, and as a result Joel is living with HIV today. His program is part alcohol awareness, part sexual health lesson. He encourages students to help their friends make smarter decisions surrounding sex and alcohol. Joel has spoken to over 1 million students since 1993, earning top national honors from both the Association of Fraternity Advisors and the North-American Interfraternity Conference. “Joel Goldman's presentation truly captures a difficult topic in a relevant and interactive way. He built a positive relationship with the students in the audience and helped them grasp the need to be responsible in their alcohol consumption and sexual practices." Bob Dudolski Joel will connect with any student audience. As a past staff person for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the Elizabeth Glazier Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity, Joel has vast experience reaching young people. "Sex Under the Influence" is the perfect choice for alcohol awareness programs, wellness weeks, Greek events, and new student orientation. Joel was amazing! He was extremely friendly and easy to work with. During the presentation, he had the audience's full attention. He showed a video that had people laughing, and he used humor to keep everyone interested. In the end, it was the quietest I had ever witnessed our greek community. Everyone was just so into the presentation. He definitely captures audience's attention and has a great message! Bridget Kenny  |
