HBCU President Brings Sex and Health Education to the Campus

The disproportionate amount of young, African American students who are effected by the disturbing trends in sexual activity raise alarming concerns among Higher Education administrators. However, there seems to be a lack of publicity around sexual awareness for minority students. Philander Smith University's President, Dr. Walter Kimbrough, has created an initiative to inform students of the implications of "risky behavior" and titled it "Sex Week". This program (taken from a model used at Yale University) provides young adults on college campuses with a comprehensive series of programs that help reinforce safe behavior, and healthy attitudes. Given the alarming rhetoric that suggests that nearly half of all new cases of HIV are attributed to African Americans, and that 72% of African American children are born out of wedlock, how can administrators on all campuses (Community Colleges, Predominantly White Institutions, HBCU's, HSI's...etc) create intervention tools and co-curricular programming models that help to solve this widespread issue?
