In this program, Dan tells his story of growing up gay in the Midwest, as he battled against his family, society, and even himself to find out what the label "gay" means to him. A witty and irreverent story-teller, Renzi goes beyond the process of "coming out," and explores issues of prejudice, diversity, and self-identity that affect every member of society. Filled with humor and inspiration, this program appeals to all audiences--gay, straight and everything else "in-between"--who appreciate the crazy twists and turns life sometimes throws at you. These are also the stories, in fact, that won Dan his spot on MTV's "The Real World."

You're Here--Now What?
The Challenges Of Being A New College Student

First-year college students are faced with all sorts of pressures: sex, drugs, social conflicts, finding a place to fit in. . . and, of course, there are those classes that get in the way of the rest of your life. How do you find the strength (and the time) to navigate through the challenges your new life throws at you? There aren't any answers that work for everyone; but at least it's good to know everyone is faced with the same questions. In this warm and funny program, Dan talks about the pressures of life in and out of college, and helps students learn how to answer these questions for themselves.

HIV Among College Students:
The Increase In Rates, How To Stop The Trend

Dan is a certified HIV counselor, trained through the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based in Washington, D.C. As an HIV counselor, he has participated in several nationwide research studies tracking infection rates, specifically among newer demographic groups such as women and minority populations. He now uses this information to educate anyone who once thought they weren't affected by this disease.

A frank, honest talk about very delicate subjects, this highly educational program is tailored to the specific needs of the audience. Renzi has provided safe-sex workshops for young gay men, women's health seminars for college sororities, and lectures for churches on the community's role in protecting their constituents. This is definitely the "sex ed" class you never had in school--and you will wish you had.
