As we prepare to announce our target date to eliminate #cervicalcancer, we pay tribute to Henrietta Lacks whose cells proved that #HPV caused most cervical cancers.

A look back at our HeLa Celebration event on Sept. 18.

The event raised awareness of the student-led, faculty-supported Carleton HeLa Initiative and paid tribute to Henrietta Lacks’ story.

Thank you to all who made this possible.

Lawrence Lacks’ passing leaves a big void in the movement for social justice. We are comforted by the honor @WHO bestowed on the family & by his legacy in the fight for no child to lose a mother to #CervicalCancer. Our prayers are with the @LacksFamily @CELLebrateHeLa.
