President of the Pierce LGBT Club Gabie Castleberry said that she is very excited about the upcoming events on campus about topics of gender and sexuality.

"It's really important, especially because this event was specifically for people of color, which is an area that we need a lot of support for LGBTQ people,” Castleberry said.

Battle said that seeing various representations of people on campus can be as simple as signage.

M.D. Physician Mitchell Nishimoto said hepatitis contamination could complicate other existing conditions.

“Once it enters the body, it localizes its damage to the liver,” Nishimoto said.

Students need to check their immunization records to make sure they received the two doses against hepatitis A, Benne said.

Kira Shteyman, a faculty nurse practitioner, said contamination is as easy as someone who has the hepatitis A virus touching food or a surface and then infecting the person who touches that same food or surface.

Nishimoto said students should wash their hands with soap and water as frequently as they can, and avoid resorting to hand sanitizers unless there is no other option available.

“Because it’s so highly contagious, that’s why the Health Department gets involved once you start getting cases. It’s very easy to spread if there isn’t good hygiene,” Nishimoto said.
