Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium: Defining Generation
X
Lecture by MTV News journalist Alison Stewart. The free series

symposium by addressing the evolution of the term "Generation X,"
which she says is merely a marketing label. She is known for her
interviews with celebrities and rock stars like Michael Stipe, U2
lead singer Bono and Mick Jagger, but it's her serious pieces,
such as the "Choose or Lose" campaign coverage of the 1992
presidential election, that won her a Peabody award and

Symposium: Defining Generation X One of the
most shocking moments in recent history was the
announcement that Olympic gold medalist Greg Louganis has been
living with AIDS. In his symposium talk, he will discuss the
impact of the AIDS epidemic on Generation X. He will share his
personal story about living with AIDS and his own message of hope
for the future.
At age 16, Louganis won his first Olympic medal for diving - a
silver on the platform in the 1976 Olympics. Since then, in 1984
and 1988, he's become the only man in Olympic history to sweep
back-to-back gold medals.
After retiring from diving, Louganis wrote his autobiography,
Breaking the Surface, which instantly reached number one on the
best-seller list. His openness concerning his sexuality, his
difficulties in the past and his hope for the future have made
him a role model for millions. Free. (410) 516-7683.

Christopher. He is also founder and editor of The Next
