What We Do ::
Our Purpose
Student Global AIDS Campaign (SGAC) was established in 2001 with the intention
of bringing education and awareness about the global AIDS epidemic to
Stanford University students and the Palo Alto community. We focus on
the multi-faceted dimensions of the disease, from disproportionate treatment
access in the developing world to sexual health issues pertaining to adolescents.
The mission of our organization is to disseminate accurate information
regarding AIDS statistics, empower the students and local community to
be involved socially, and educate others about the urgent need for international
action. We, the student body, have the resources to make an impact.
Our Goal
SGAC is devoted to uniting the Stanford community in the fight against
global AIDS. We have found that many students are looking for an outlet
to focus their commitment to social justice and human rights activism.
However, people are often unaware of how to pursue their interests: we
provide the vehicle for them to do so. Ultimately, we seek to mobilize
the Stanford community as well as the Palo Alto public against an international
crisis on a grass-roots level.
