Truman nursing students in the Rural Public Health Nursing course recently completed their outreach project for fall semester. Under more normal circumstances, plans would have been made to conduct a candlelight observance of World AIDS Day, which falls on Dec. 1 every year. With current health protection recommendations in place discouraging gatherings, and the early end of the semester, students had to be creative. Plans were made for a virtual event marking this important issue. The students provided an educational program about HIV and AIDS at the Nov. 10 Nursing Student Council meeting. Students used a variety of media to publicize the event and invited anyone who wanted to attend. More than 100 people participated via Zoom.
