Alabama State University Hosts GLAAD's Generation Z & HIV HBCU Tour

Alabama State University, a historically Black university located in Montgomery, Alabama, recently welcomed GLAAD's Generation Z & HIV HBCU Tour to its campus. The tour, which aims to educate and empower HBCU students in the fight against HIV, continued its nationwide outreach with a stop at this esteemed institution.

The event, held on ASU's campus, featured interactive workshops and panel discussions that tackled the intersection of HIV, LGBTQ+ issues, and the unique challenges faced by young people of color. Students had the opportunity to engage with GLAAD representatives, HIV/AIDS advocates, and their peers, fostering crucial conversations around destigmatizing the virus and promoting holistic wellness.

Alabama State University, with its rich history and commitment to social justice, was an ideal host for this impactful initiative.

"This tour is essential in equipping HBCU students with the knowledge, resources, and sense of community they need to become leaders in the fight against HIV," said a GLAAD spokesperson. "We're thrilled to partner with Alabama State University and continue our mission of fostering awareness and activism on HBCU campuses."

The Generation Z & HIV HBCU Tour is part of GLAAD's broader efforts to address the disproportionate impact of HIV on young people, particularly those from marginalized communities. By engaging directly with HBCU students, the organization aims to amplify their voices, empower them as advocates, and inspire collective action to combat the epidemic.

This event at Alabama State University marks another significant milestone in GLAAD's ongoing commitment to supporting HBCU students and strengthening the HBCU community's response to the HIV/AIDS crisis. As the tour continues to traverse the nation, the HBCUCONNECT community eagerly awaits the insights and impact that will emerge from these vital conversations.
