Puppy Power
While we haven’t added dogs to our library collection (see post about this here), today is the reprise of Puppy Day at GMU Law. As reported on the law school’s Upcoming Events Page, as well as on WTOP, A Forever-Home Rescue Foundation is back at the law school with adorable puppies to give students a “pre-exam stress buster.”
World Aids Day
On December 1, 1988, the World Health Organization established the first World Aids Day. If you haven’t already, you can view a section of the Aids Memorial Quilt on display in the law school atrium.
Some of the legal issues that have arisen involving HIV/AIDS are summarized briefly on the U.S. Government’s Aids.gov website.
