At Iowa State University, Sean Lundy helped launch the Iowa State Global Health and AIDS Coalition, a student group that mobilized hundreds to act on global HIV/AIDS and world health issues. Sean’s dedication to HIV/AIDS activism is rooted in his desire to fight injustice everywhere. To do that, Sean took to Capitol Hill where he worked with the Student Global AIDS Campaign (SGAC) and Health GAP, an organization dedicated to ensuring people living with HIV/AIDS have access to affordable, life-sustaining meds. As a student, Sean worked with communities in Panama and Uganda on HIV prevention and education. For the next two years, Sean is committed to working with the Peace Corps in Togo on its efforts to prevent HIV/AIDS and malaria.
