BC’s Women’s Center Now Distributing Plan B Emergency Contraceptive

BROOKLYN COLLEGE–With the beginning of the school semester, Brooklyn College’s Women’s Center opens with new and familiar resources to provide to students daily. In an extension of the resources the Center provides, Plan B will now be offered to any student in need of an emergency contraceptive.
