AIDS Education Tour Hits Howard U. during Nation’s Football Classic Weekend: As a panel of AIDS activists and educators drove home an impassioned and frank prevention message aimed at minority college-aged students—those who account for more than 55 percent of new AIDS cases—it wasn’t enough to get even two dozen Howard University students inside a small auditorium in the student Center on a rainy Friday afternoon to hear it.
The event was just one of many non-sports activities planned around the much-anticipated weekend football matchup between Morehouse College and Howard during the AT&T Nation’s Football Classic.
But that was okay with Jason Panda, CEO of bCondoms, a co-sponsor of the event. “The discussion,” he said, “was an opportunity to touch lives and educate students whether five or 500 showed up.”
