J Street adds to menu

Students interview for AfricaTV
GW students were interviewed for AfricaTV, an organization providing news service from the United States in Africa, as part of an AIDS awareness event Thursday night at the Marvin Center.
The event, which was originally supposed to feature a panel discussion with people diagnosed with HIV, became student-focused after the panelists could not attend because of the snowstorm.
Most of the 11 students who attended the event were interviewed one-on-one for the program to be broadcast in Africa in the near future.
