In recognition of World AIDS Day, red flags dot MSU's Drill Field representing the thousands of HIV/AIDS-related deaths in Mississippi and to draw attention to the local impact. Mississippi is one of nine Southern states particularly hard-hit by AIDS, according to a report from the Duke Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research. The display is sponsored by Health, Education and Wellness, a part of the university's Division of Student Affairs.
