It’s been one year since Point Alum Katie Batza published “AIDS in the Heartland.” 🌈
Katie’s work explores LGBTQ+ and ally communities across the Midwest and helps bring more attention to stories that often go overlooked.
She also chairs Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Kansas and has mentored Point Scholars at KU.
We’re proud to celebrate Katie’s work and the ways Point Alumni continue to contribute through research, education, and community.
