Presented by the University of Evansville Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

For 50 years, Cleve Jones has been an advocate for the marginalized, and an inspiring force behind historic change. He was recognized by President Obama as a Champion of Change and was portrayed in an Oscar-winning film featuring his remarkable journey. As a passionate speaker, he advocates for equality and addresses vital topics including diversity, intersectionality, civil rights, and the striking parallels between the HIV and COVID-19 pandemics.

Jones currently works with UNITE HERE, the international union representing hotel, casino, food service, and restaurant workers. His keynotes resonate across many sectors – from a pharmaceutical firm crafting HIV treatments, to fundraisers focusing on community involvement, and enterprises celebrating diversity and LGBTQ pride.
