AIDS activist Peter Staley and his brother, Barclays CEO and Bowdoin College Trustee Jes Staley ’79, P’11 are at the heart of two upcoming events around the history and prevention of AIDS.

Associate Director of Student Affairs Kate Stern, who is also director of the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity, will moderate a conversation with the Staley brothers in advance of a screening of the award-winning and Oscar-nominated documentary, How to Survive a Plague, about the history of the AIDS epidemic. The event, sponsored by Bowdoin’s LGBTIQA Alumni Network, will take place Thursday, March 9, 2017, at 6: 30 p.m., at Yahoo in New York City.

The venue is being provided by Trustee Andy Serwer ’81, P’16, P’20, editor-in-chief of Yahoo Finance. Register online by March 7.

The Bowdoin event is in advance of the GMHC Spring Gala 2017, to be held in New York March 23, 2017, during which Peter Staley and Jes Staley will be honored alongside former President Bill Clinton. GMHC (Gay Men’s Health Crisis) is one of the world’s leading providers of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and advocacy.
