SWAU MARCH IN SOLIDARITY: CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY
Friday, June 12, 9:00AM, begins at Mizpah Gate
Many of you, like me, were shocked at the senseless death of George Floyd. It is a reminder of the sinful world in which we live and the racial injustices that still occur.
One of the new SWAU Values that was recently approved and now embedded in the 2020-2023 Strategic Plan is, “We value the image of God in all humanity.” As a result, we will “treat each individual with respect and seek opportunities to work together for the good of humanity.” We should all stand for the right though the heavens fall. We should take a stand against racial injustices.
This Friday, we will have a “March in Solidarity: Celebration of Diversity” on our campus beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Mizpah Gate. We will celebrate the diversity that we have on our campus and we will march in solidarity for this particular value that we hold dear. We plan to walk around the inside of our campus. I invite each of you to come and participate and invite a friend if you like. I am giving the OK for departments to close for this hour.
We are inviting members of the Keene Church, Keene Police Department, Keene Fire Department, Keene City Hall officials, and the Keene Chamber of Commerce to join us as well.
I hope to see you on Friday. —Dr. Ken Shaw, Southwestern Adventist University President
