Lunch & Learn - Under The Colorado Sun

Under the Colorado Sun: Sun Safety & Skin Health for Our Older Queer Community Living in Colorado means higher altitudes which means more sunshine—and more skin health risks.

This interactive presentation explores the serious impact of UV exposure, which can lead to increased skin cancer risk, and how it uniquely affects Colorado’s older queer community. We’ll discuss the importance of sun protection as we age, how to choose an effective sunscreen, and how visibility, access, and representation play a role in our health.

You’ll learn how to choose the right sunscreen (not all SPF is created equal!) and get the chance to see how well you’re really applying it using a UV mirror and you’re current sun damage using a UV camera. This eye-opening, sometimes amusing experience shows the invisible effects of sun exposure in real time.

Plus, attendees will receive free sunscreen, SPF ChapStick, and some fun CU Cancer Center swag! Come for the knowledge, stay for the self-care—and leave a little more sun-smart.
Date: Wednesday, July 30th,
Time: 11:45a - 1:00 pm. RSVP required
