Institutional Saga Symposium
¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s is hosting a two-day symposium entitled, “Rooted in Hope: Telling our Stories, Living our Mission.” The symposium is free and open to the public.
This event is the grand finale of a generous $40,000 NetVue grant that was used to commission 10 unique stories and five videos about the history of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s College, the key themes that define the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s community, and the stories that may have gone untold.
Topics include The Arts, First Generation College Students, The Black Experience at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s, How the Valley Has Shaped ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s, Women at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s, Catholic Social Teaching, Hispanic Outreach, How ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Has Served the Local Community, Immigrants and ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s, and Disability Services.
This symposium starts on the evening of Nov. 14 with a talk from Regina Graham, 2010 alumna and Program Director of DEI at Geisinger. The next day, the symposium will feature several sessions on the key themes of the grant with community representatives, alums, and friends of the College.
