Engagement & Service-Learning Summit

There are 6 million people living with HIV; 70% reside in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Dermatology research is underway to determine the effectiveness of an unna boot (medicated, layered compression dressing) to speed the healing of these lesions with anecdotal success.

Working with Glen Acres Elementary in Lafayette, Indiana, a school where in 2014, over 71% of the students qualified for free or reduced lunches, we …
