It’s not common for a Jesuit Institution to have an AIDS test on campus due to their beliefs in abstinence but today the SPC community came out to show support and get tested at a Rapid Aids Testing Event sponsored by the Criminal Justice Department to celebrate black history month. And tonight the SPC Community will be stepping out full “pink” style in support of the Pink Zone Event in the RLC 7:00pm, featuring a game by the SPC Women’s Basketball game and a taste testing of white castle burgers and fries in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. So if you are on campus tonight don’t forget to check out the event and don’t forget to rock you pink zone t-shirts if you do go.
