A Message from the Cal Alumni Pride Board

Dear Cal Alumni Pride Member:

As we move forward from recent setbacks, there has never been a better time to reflect on our history and how far we have come.  Join us for a wine reception and private showing at the GLBT Historical Society on June 9th (more details below).  As we do in every newsletter, we'd like to introduce you to an inspirational alumnus who represents the best of Cal; Jack Mackenroth '93, a Project Runway contestant, outspoken gay rights advocate and HIV and AIDS spokesperson.  A special thanks to everyone who joined us at the Lookout in April.  We raised nearly $400 to support the club and our scholarship program. 

Happy Pride and Go Bears!

The Cal Alumni Pride Board

Jack Mackenroth - Designer, Athlete, and Advocate

You may know Jack Mackenroth '93 from his appearance on Project Runway.  As the first openly gay HIV positive contestant in the show's history, he has helped combat the stigma associated with HIV by living honestly and dispelling myths about the disease. Jack recently directed his efforts to "Living Positive By Design," a national HIV and AIDS awareness campaign. To learn more about Jack's work, click here.
