In our small corner of the world, we converge on campus to create a microcosm of culture, tradition, backgrounds, ideas, beliefs, heritage and much more. Our stories do not simply detail what we do at the university, but instead they are a deeper look into the people and personalities that show not just how we are unique, but also how our differences only serve to bring us closer and create a stronger university.
The goal of Perspective Online is to share these stories. In March, following Black History Month and in favor of Dr. Marrero’s vision for diversity and inclusion at UWG, Perspective Online will celebrate all the tangible and intangible distinctions that make our university great. We are already compiling a list of stories to feature this month, but it is only a sample of what the university has to offer. We welcome suggestions for story ideas relating to diversity on campus, this month and throughout the year.
Perspective Online is looking to highlight all forms of diversity and inclusion, so please don’t hesitate to submit an idea. As a university, we draw on our own personal histories every day, showing each other and our students that we truly appreciate, accept and respect all people for who they are.
Join us in this celebration and be proud of our collective and individual heritage. Let us share your story. Please submit all ideas to perspect@westga.edu.
