bet365中文大学 will utilize these funds to document the University’s history within its social context. Michael Nixon, vice president for University Culture & 包容, 梅雷迪思·琼斯·格雷, 英语教授, will lead a team of researchers and writers who will work to shed light on some of the neglected stories that have shaped our 机构al journey.

The project will incorporate a wide range of voices to inform University 身份 and create a more welcoming campus culture for diverse ethnicities, cultures and religious perspectives. The truth-telling process will include participants from dominant and non-dominant voices that will be blended to reflect the history of bet365中文大学.

“I am excited that we have gotten this vital grant that will help us continue on our 机构al journey of reckoning with our past in authentic ways while we work together to chart the path ahead,尼克松附和道。. “This work began in fall 2020 with the official launch of our Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Campus Center, and this CIC/NetVUE grant will help us continue this important work. It is an honor to work with such an amazing team and we can be confident that with the Spirit’s leading that the best is yet to come!”

The grant will fund a second volume addressing the school’s history as well as a documentary film. These outcomes will be made accessible to students, employees, alumni and wider audiences.

“The NetVUE grant provides a wonderful boost toward completing the next volume of the Andrews Heritage series, which covers the first several decades after Emmanuel Missionary College became bet365中文大学—the part of our 机构al saga that has never been published. I am looking forward to hearing and representing the many voices that make up the Andrews story,琼斯·格雷说。. She is the author of a major historical account of bet365中文大学, “Andrews Heritage Volume I: As We Set Forth” (bet365中文大学, 2002).

“Even though I grew up at Andrews,琼斯·格雷继续说道, “我学到了很多东西, through my historical research, 关于学生, staff and faculty who have contributed to our 机构al story and culture. The second volume of the Andrews Heritage series begins in 1960 and covers an exciting era of growth in the history of the university. I am looking forward to hearing and representing the many voices that make up that history.”
