Today, December 1st is World AIDS Day. An important time to remember those affected by AIDs and get educated about AIDs to avoid continuing the stigma attached to it. Pink News has a great article about the year’s biggest HIV and AIDs news stories as well as related articles that can help you have a little bit of a better idea about HIV/AIDs. Also, an event is being held tonight at the Eternal Flame (by Kirk Memorial) to commemorate this day. It will be from seven to eight and here’s a link to the Facebook event.
On another note, we’re going to start showcasing various events on campus that are held by organizations that are LGBT friendly. This will probably happen on Mondays, but for now it’s goin’ down today! So, without further adieu…
TODAY(Dec. 1st):
Besides World AIDs day, there is also a Food and Agriculture forum in the SUB Down Under. “A forum about educating our minds to make more ethically sound food choices.” Super awesome. There will be free food and guest speakers! Semi-sponsored by ECO.
SATURDAY (Dec. 5th):
“Food, Inc.” Film Screening! “The film examines large-scale agricultural food production in the United States, concluding that the meat and vegetables produced by this type of economic enterprise leads to inexpensive but unhealthy and environmentally-harmful food.” Awesome and informative! If you click on the link it will direct you to the Facebook group where you can see a trailer for the movie. This is also sponsored by ECO (we just love them) and Truman’s Student Senate (I’m sure we would love them too!).
SUNDAY (Dec. 6th):
Just Say Ahhh: A Relaxing Day for Self-Care. OH MAN OH MAN. Us here at the PRISM website are REALLY excited for this event. “Come relax with healthy snacks, spa treatments, yoga, journaling, and tips to remain calm during the stress of finals!”, says the Facebook event description. We are so there. Battling stress during the last weeks of classes is really important! Sponsored by Truman’s WRC (Women’s Resource Center), which is DA BOMB.
Well that’s it! Hope you have a wonderful day and maybe we’ll see you at these events! We sure hope so!
