Attitudes surrounding HIV/AIDS in Milwaukee have varied over the years and throughout different activist groups. UWM’s Archives contain a lot of material regarding information on the different AIDS activist groups and resources throughout Milwaukee’s history including, Bobby Positive booklets written by a man with AIDS giving personal tips on how to live with AIDS, who later died from the disease in 1997, and different Strategic Plans from the AIDS Resource center of Wisconsin, a HIV health care center centered around providing quality medical, dental, mental health, and social services for all people with HIV. Both the Bobby Positive booklet and the ARCW Strategic plan are ways Wisconsin planned to help prevent and eliminate HIV/AIDS …show more content…
To the right are photos of the table of contents containing the title of each tip he gives, in the booklet he goes into depth on each of them. In the early 1980s, with the discovery of a new infection primarily targeting the gay community, the BESTD Clinic in Milwaukee formed a special project called MAP or Milwaukee AIDS Project to address the crisis. The disease became more of a threat and the community needed more support. A new task force was created by combining the MAP directors, BESTD Clinic President and a few others to form the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin. Over time the organization continued to grow and has become Wisconsin’s largest and fastest growing HIV health care system. “Through its integrated medical, dental and mental health clinics along with pharmacy and dedicated social services that include, food pantries, legal programs and social work case management, more than 3,300 HIV patients in Wisconsin gain the health care and social services they need for long term survival with HIV disease.” (ARCW) Some of the material I found in the archives about the ARCW was their 2007-2011 Strategic Plan. It is an outline of how they plan to achieve their vision which is a “world without AIDS and to ensure that everyone with HIV disease will live a long and healthy life”. Within the plan there is six goals and under each goal there are
On August 19, 1992, a woman named Mary Fisher spoke on a rather sensitive topic in an attempt to change the world. In an address to the Republican National Convention, Fisher lectured on a subject close to her heart, HIV and AIDS. Mary Fisher is an artist, author, and of course political activist. She contracted HIV from her second husband and has since been on a mission to educate people about prevention of the disease and the treatment of people that have HIV or AIDS. Fisher was speaking at the convention in Houston, Texas in an attempt to get people to take action. Fisher wanted people to be informed about the diseases and have a genuine care about those infected. I found her speech exceedingly compelling as well as an exceptional display

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

I have been a part of JROTC for the past four years of my high school career. During my time in the program, I gained more self-confidence and was able to venture out of my comfort zone, which allowed me to join numerous clubs and organizations throughout my high school career. The clubs include the Chess Club for one year, the Environmental Club and AFJROTC Honor Guard team for two years, and Science Olympiad all my four years of high school. The organizations include the National Technical Honor Society for two years and National Honor Society for two years as well and voted Vice President.

“Everyone practices harm reduction, whether they see it or not. When you put on a seat belt…You are practicing harm reduction,” said Evelyn Milan pointedly as we started our interview. Evelyn works for Vocal-NY which is, at its base, an Advocacy organization for those who have a history of AIDS. Vocal-NY was once New York City AIDS Housing Network. Their formation was at a time when addressing root causes like homelessness and poverty was going out of style and incrimination was becoming the focus. Vocal-NY’s mission has remained true to the original intent. The original focus was on progressive housing that assured that all people living with AIDS could find affordable homes. Their advocacy has come out of this and focuses on assuring that affordable housing is a focus of the state and city administration.
UFV is one of the top universities in British Columbia. It is close to my house and is an affordable university compared to most. However, UFV does not carry a full engineering program and due to this I will have to transfer to a different university to complete my degree. The problem is that if I want to complete my degree I will have to have maintain sufficient grades while taking extra courses. Also there is a problem of expense that will take place once I am able to transfer.

When one thinks of an Ohio State University student, they might first think of an Ohio resident, or maybe someone from another Midwestern state such as Michigan, Illinois, or Indiana. The student that comes to mind is most likely a white, 18-22 year-old athlete who is a part of Greek life. However, one of their recent recruiting videos appeals to students who do not fit these demographics. This video can be found on Ohio State University’s Youtube page, titled “Ohio State National TV Commercial.” It is unique because it attempts to appeal to students who may not consider OSU, such as international or non-traditional students, or perhaps students of color.

Shakespeare once said, "We know what we are, but know not what we may be." While I do not know what my future holds or how I will spend the bulk of my adult life, I know that only education will give me the opportunity to detect my interests and enrich my soul. I believe the University will provide me with the perfect atmosphere for bettering my life and my creative abilities.
