Black, queer, feminist, HIV positive, and
working
class, Tim'm T. West has embraced all of who
he is
and, with laser-beam precision, harnessed the
power
of his truth to illuminate, celebrate,
inspire, provoke,
and bear witness. As a teacher, performance
artist,
author, and culture producer, Tim'm has
become an
exemplar among contemporary Renaissance
personalities of the early 21st Century as he
brings

Robert
Gant on Tuesday April 10 at 7:30pm in
212 MacMillian Hall.
Being the Change: On growing up and coming
out in
Hollywood
Television's first openly gay leading man
talks about
his personal journey: coming out, healing low
self-
esteem and finding inner-peace to live whole
as a
man. Straight or gay, he speaks about giving
people
back to themselves and integrating all parts of
oneself. Robert also takes you behind the
scenes at
Queer as Folk, into the challenges of his
role, issues
faced by gays in America - young and old,
philanthropy, and how one can participate to
creating
a lasting positive change.
One of the stars of Showtime's hit television
series "Queer as Folk," his character Ben
Bruckner, is
the first HIV+ character on television to be
shown as a
whole person, one with an active love
relationship
and sex life. Robert's work on the show, and his
efforts in life, have placed him on the front
line of our
country's next great struggle for civil
rights - for gay
people to be entitled to all of the rights
and benefits
that citizenship allows for. Queer as Folk is
arguably
the only show on television to honestly
portray gay life
in its entirely.

Oxford family
looking for students to provide after-school
care and
Hebrew tutoring The
Abowitz's
are looking for students who are interested
in working
for their family next academic year to
provide some
after-school child-care and Jewish & Hebrew
tutoring.
Their kids are ages 6 and 7, and have been
getting
Jewish tutoring for the past year or so.
They live in
Oxford, and are looking for students who might be
interested in working with them for a year or
even
more -- ideally, they would love to develop a
relationship with a handful of students who
are in
their first or second years at Miami and
continue to
employ those students until graduation. They
are
looking for men or women who like kids, like
to play
and have fun, and can think up and organize some
creative, active ways to engage their kids in
Jewish
learning. They are a reform family and
liberal in
theology. They don't have to hire someone
that exactly
matches us in this respect, this would be the
desired
orientation of the Jewish learning.
They are looking to hire someone (or maybe two
people) for two or three afternoons a week.
The kids
get off the bus most days at 4:15. The
days are flexible. The payment is around
$6-7/hour.
There's also a chance of a 3rd kid being
involved in
the tutoring. Of course, more kids = more pay.
Please call the Abowitz's if you're
interested at 513-
524-4257
Please
Take This Survey The
survey is for a student and takes only 5
minutes to complete.
