There is a vending machine with snacks right next to the door to the restroom with the Vengo machine as nausea can be one side effect of emergency contraception.

The Vengo machine distributes the AfterPill (levonorgestrel) emergency contraceptive tablet. 

 

Emergency contraception ("Take Action") can also be purchased at the Walgreens at Vaden for $39.99 (price subject to change). If a student has any ACA insurance, it is free with a prescription from a doctor at Vaden, which means it would not be anonymous.

Additionally, emergency contraception can be purchased off-campus at local drug stores and even online, although it is most effective when taken as soon as possible (up to 72 hours after sex).  There is no legal age restriction for access to emergency contraception.

Find more information about emergency contraception on Vaden's website.
