- 50 percent of those newly infected are under the age of 24.
- 25 percent of those newly infected do not know it.
- New York accounts for approximately 18 percent of all HIV cases in the United States.
Join The New School team 1463 on Sunday, May 16, at 9:00 a.m. in Central Park. To register to walk or to donate online, go to the AIDS Walk website. Volunteers should contact any of the following New School Committee members: Laura Cosgrove, Office of Finance and Business; Katie Scheidt, Office of Information Technology; Sheila Slaughter, Office of Human Resources; Adam Reale, Design and Construction; and Stephen Serwin, Raymond Fogelman Library.
