In 2008, the National Association of People With AIDS (NAPWA) started the National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. NAPWA founded NGMHAAD to raise gay men's awareness of the HIV epidemic and the role they can play in bringing it to an end. One thing that we are looking to do is partner with various community organizations to promote HIV/STD Testing. We would also be launching our “Get Turned On” safer sex campaign. If you would like to be involved in the planning or helping please let us know, we would really like to show a united front to our community in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Get Real Empowerment Group Meetings Get Real Empowerment Group meets this Friday (9/02/11) and every Friday in the IMU Persimmon Room. Need a voice? You are not alone. This is your chance to speak up and speak out! This is a place to be mad and be sad and let out whatever is inside you. Get Real Empowerment Group meetings consist of small intimate groups (7 or less participants) that are open to everyone and are designed to be safe places to share. It is especially meant for anyone who has ever felt silenced and/or excluded—which is pretty much everyone. Get Real About Discrimination (GRAD) Empowerment Group: > Every Friday during the school year in the IMU — usually in the Persimmon Room > Doors open at 5:30 pm — we begin promptly at 6:00 pm > Newcomer briefing begins at 5:40 pm > Observers and Participants welcome! > http://www.noglstp.net/iu/grad The first meeting of NOGLSTP at IU, National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals, is Wednesday, August 31st. We will be meeting at 7:30pm in the Distinguished Alumni Room of the IMU. WHY SHOULD I BE A PART OF NOGLSTP??? Well...NOGLSTP at IU has the potential to play a vital role at this university. Here are three examples: 1. It can give graduating students a professional way to be out on their resume, by listing membership in a professional, queer organization. 2. There is a glaring disparity in the "queer climate," between the math and sciences versus the liberal arts. It does NOT have to be this way. This is a major ambition for the group. (Going from the music school, to a semester of only math classes, to a semester in the education school, I have been made very aware of the differences). 3. Provide an opportunity for GLBTQ students in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) to meet other queer students. Would love to hear more ideas, see new faces!! Thanks for your time. Gregory Weber President, NOGLSTP at IU Community Events, Opportunities, and InvolvementSunday, September 18, 2011, 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Bryan Park, 1001 S.
