Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium: Defining Generation X Lecture by MTV News journalist Alison Stewart. The free series will explore the issues and events that have shaped the minds of Generation Xers, Americans born after Kennedy's assassination and before the end of disco. Stewart's talk will kick off the 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 recognition as one of MTV's top journalists.

MSE 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.
