A national touring photo and text exhibit will be on display at UNH to commemorate World AIDS Day (December 1st). Included in the exhibit is a photo and essay exhibit about the life and legacy of Bill Kidder. Bill Kidder attended UNH and worked at UNH for many years. Upon his death from HIV/AIDS in 1993, the Kidder Fund was established in his name. By 2009, more than $100,000 from the fund has been utilized to support GLBT and HIV education to build a safer, more inclusive UNH community. Learn more about Bill’s life in this photo and essay exhibit.
