We need student volunteers for the AIDS Quilt coming to campus on December 1, 2009. Washington, D.C. has one of the highest rates of HIV in the nation, and this reaches into our local communities and Mason Campus. We are bringing the Names Project AIDS Quilt to campus in order to increase awareness about the nature and scope of HIV/AIDS as well as the important role of prevention.
