To date, there is no cure for AIDS, but there are ways to make a very big difference, said Raymond Royster, spokesperson for Alpha Phi Alpha. Prevention, testing and education are the key ways to prevent the ongoing spread of HIV/AIDS. By focusing on these key features, we can reduce the rate of infection and help those who are coping with this disease. On Oct. 2 our goals are to educate and to raise funds.

 

In conjunction with the AIDS Walk, The Public Health Society of the College will be hosting a Health Fair in the lower K-Wing Gallery, also on October 2 from 10 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. For additional information, contact the Office of Student Development at 609-652-4205.
