Chicago, IL -
The Adler School of Professional Psychology recently presented the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) with a donation of $5,300. The gift represents a $15 contribution for each individual in attendance at the inauguration of Dr. Raymond E. Crossman, the School's new president.
"We are grateful for the Adler School's donation and applaud their dedication to confronting critical public health issues like HIV/AIDS," said Mark Ishaug, executive director of AFC.
The donation was made as part of the inauguration festivities for Dr. Crossman, the fifth president of the Adler School. An openly gay president, Dr. Crossman celebrated the event by bringing together his ongoing work with under-served communities and HIV/AIDS, which underscores the Adler School's values of social responsibility and community engagement.
In his inaugural speech, Dr. Crossman delivered these words: "Let us make it our distinctive revolution that we notice and find the forgotten problems, the overlooked issues, the unpopular causes, the unserved peoples, the less obvious and less pursued models of leadership and community."
AFC will use the contribution to support HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and advocacy programs throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.
The Adler School of Professional Psychology is a private, not-for-profit, graduate school. Founded in 1952 by Dr. Rudolf Dreikurs, the Adler School is the oldest independent psychology school in the country and the only accredited doctoral institution in the world having Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology as its major educational orientation.
Established in 1985 to provide central leadership in the fight against the epidemic, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) promotes sound HIV/AIDS public policy, funds HIV/AIDS prevention and care projects, and through its Service Providers Council, helps to coordinate the delivery of essential HIV/AIDS services.
