College campuses across the country commemorated the victims of the AIDS epidemic this week through marches, vigils, art shows, performances, and editorials. We’ve included a small sampling of AIDS Awareness Week coverage. In Kansas: Wichita State University student Brad Thomison performed "The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me" (a one-man, Obie-Award Winning show) at Kansas State. The performance was one of the many events and actions planned for K-State’s inaugural AIDS Awareness week. In Syracuse: activities planned by the students, administration, and academic departments of SU include fundraising for AIDS orphans in Kenya and Zimbabwe, a red-ribbon event for AIDS visibility, and an information session about the disease. At UNC Chapel Hill, Junior Ashley Heilprin organized a forum of 5 area experts in HIV/AIDS. Finally, Dorothy Levinson and Morissa Sobelson, co-chairs of the Tufts HIV/AIDS Collaborative, editorialized about the continued need for AIDS activism and what students can do to help.
