¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ is making history. 

¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ Reflections, the first publication spotlighting the university’s commitment to cultural differences and diverse perspectives, launched today.

 The biannual electronic newsletter, a joint venture between the Office of Marketing and Communication (OMC) and the Office of Diversity and Intercultural Initiatives, was conceived by OMC staffers Monica Washington and Chandra Sparks Splond. It will feature the ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ stories of minority students, employees, alumni and friends to celebrate and communicate their achievements. The first issue, themed Making History, includes history makers such as current two-time SGA president Cameron Thomas and alum Eric Motley who was ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ’s first African-American SGA president and the first to integrate ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ’s Greek system.

“The Office of Marketing and Communication is always seeking new and creative ways to tell the ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ story.  This publication is a great step forward in doing just this and will be a valuable new resource for the entire ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ community,” said Betsy Holloway, chief marketing officer for ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ. 

Denise J. Gregory, director of diversity and intercultural initiatives, agreed. “There are lots of great things our minority students, faculty, staff, and alumni are doing. This publication will provide an opportunity for the entire ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ community to learn and share in their accomplishments,” she said.
