Drexel University is participating in Campus Race to Zero Waste (formerly RecycleMania), a friendly, nationwide competition and benchmarking tool among colleges and universities to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities. Throughout the months of February and March, we’re tracking the amount of paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass, plastic, cell phones and computer equipment* recycled on our campuses so we can be benchmarked against the other participating institutions.

Drexel is hosting three collection events for electronics, computer equipment, old and used up toner and ink cartridges and batteries of all kinds. This is a listing for the event in Queen Lane, outside the main entrance in front of the flagpole, on Wednesday, March 22, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Title talk: Multi-level Risk Factors for HIV Prevention and Care Among Black Sexual Minority Men: The N2 Cohort Study

Speaker: Dustin T. Duncan, ScD, Associate Professor, Co-Director of the Social and Spatial Epidemiology Unit and Director of the Columbia Spatial Epidemiology Lab at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health

This talk will describe the design, sampling methods, data collection, and main findings to-date of the ongoing 'Neighborhoods and Networks (N2) Cohort Study' including the recently launched follow-up study to the Neighborhoods and Networks (N2) study, which we refer to as N2 Part 2 (N2P2). N2 employs a prospective longitudinal design. The original sample includes Black sexual minority men (SMM) participants in Chicago recruited via respondent-driven sampling and assessed every six months over two years of follow-up. Participants enrolled in Jackson, New Orleans and Baton Rouge were originally recruited through existing health and community services and assessed every six months over one year of follow-up. Mobility within and between neighborhoods was assessed using global positioning system (GPS) technology, making the N2 study the largest GPS-based study of HIV disparities in any SMM population. Social and sexual networks among Black SMM were studied through egocentric network inventories as well as newer methods of creating meso-level networks that involve social media (Facebook) and mobile phone contacts.

We will also discuss how the N2P2 study will apply an observational-implementation hybrid design in order to help us achieve findings that support rapid translation, a critical priority among populations such as Black SMM that experience long-standing inequities, with regards to HIV and other health-related outcomes.

Dr. Duncan is an internationally recognized Social and Spatial Epidemiologist. His research broadly seeks to understand how social and contextual factors especially neighborhood characteristics influence population health. Dr. Duncan’s intersectional research focuses on Black cisgender gay, bisexual and other sexual minority men and transgender women of color. His work appears in leading public health, epidemiology, medical, geography, criminology, demography, and psychology journals. Working in collaborations with scholars across the world, he has over 200 high-impact articles (120 first or senior-authored), book chapters and books cited over 8,100 times; his research has appeared in major media outlets including U.S. News & World Report, The Washington Post, The New York Times and CNN.

Dr. Duncan’s recent work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the HIV Prevention Trials Network, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Verizon Foundation, and the Aetna Foundation. He has received several early career and distinguished scientific contribution, mentoring and leadership awards including from the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), the Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) and the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS).

Shakespeare Read-Aloud: Much Ado About Nothing (3/22/2023)

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:00:00 GMT

Start Date:	3/22/2023	Start Time:	4:00 PM
End Date:	3/22/2023	End Time:	5:00 PM

Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s madcap comedies. Count Claudio falls in love with the gentle Hero, only to decry her as unfaithful; the irreverent Benedick spars with the clever Beatrice, only to reverse himself and fall in love with her. It’s a lively tale, a battle of wits, and a story of trust, trickery, and intrigue.

The reading will take place each Wednesday, from 4-5 p.m. live on Zoom. The reading will be led by Pennoni Honors College Dean Paula Marantz Cohen, author of Of Human Kindness: What Shakespeare Teaches Us About Empathy (Yale UP).

Our aim is to have attendees engage with this great play in whatever capacity they choose. You can come to read or just to listen. There will be no pressure, no judgment, no grades — just the chance to commune together over a great work of literature and provide some deep thought and a little laughter in our present moment.

Wednesdays starting January 11th, 4-5 p.m. EST

RSVP
