MONDAY: AIDS Memorial Quilt on Display at UC
December 1, 2003, marks the annual Worlds AIDS Day, a World Health Organization campaign to increase AIDS awareness worldwide.
To help raise AIDS awareness, the University of Cincinnati will be hosting a display of a portion of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. The quilt will be on display from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 1, in the Event Pavilion. The display is sponsored by MainStreet, the UC Wellness Center, and Student Activities and Leadership Development.
The AIDS Memorial Quilt has been a way to provide healing, remembrance, education, and prevention in the struggle to end AIDS. The quilt offers an opportunity to educate people about HIV/AIDS and prevention, to remember those who have died, and to comfort the grieving. The quilt is a valuable resource that encourages compassion and inspires personal involvement in combating the AIDS epidemic. By showing the humanity behind the statistics, the quilt has a dramatic impact on peoples perceptions about AIDS and on risk-taking behavior.
