EMPOWERING VOICES THROUGH ART: GERMANY RAY’S JOURNEY

OF ADVOCACY AND SOLIDARITY

On a quiet street, a colorful mural stands for the fight for women’s freedom. Germany Ray, a Fine Arts student who graduated from Virginia Union University (VUU), and Pari Valad, Chair of the Fine Arts Department, worked together to create a 3-foot artwork. This mural supports women in Iran who are fighting against inequality.

The project is part of the “Woman, Life, Freedom” campaign, showing support for women in Iran who are challenging unfair rules. It is a response to the sad story of Jina Mahsa Amini, who died after being arrested for her clothing. This event led to significant protests by women in Iran.

“I was glad to use my talents to bring attention to this ongoing problem for Iranian women,” says Germany Ray. “Many of these women cannot speak out because they fear for their safety, so I will do my part.”

Reflecting on her artistic journey, Ray expressed her gratitude for the opportunities that have come her way, particularly noting the evolution of her work since her first mural in 2018. Her growth as an artist has not gone unnoticed, as she was awarded the fine arts scholarship in the spring of 2023 and has been featured in prominent publications such as The Hill. These accolades testify to the impact of her art and the recognition she has garnered within the artistic community.

Ray’s art journey continues with more impactful projects, aiming to share important social and political messages. After the “Woman, Life, Freedom” mural, Ray stays focused on using her art to make a difference.

Her next project will be revealed on February 22nd at the Dominion Energy Center, honoring the Richmond 34 students who fought against segregation. This shows her commitment to celebrating the struggles and victories of marginalized groups through her art.

As she plans for her following projects, Germany Ray is paying attention to important issues today. Given the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, she wants to use her creativity to create art promoting peace and equality.

“I am still brainstorming my next project, but I do want to create more art that speaks out about what is happening in Palestine and Israel,” Ray said.

She aims to use her art to raise awareness and encourage discussions about complex global problems.

Germany Ray’s dedication to addressing social and political issues through her art shows the power of art to make a difference. Each painting embodies empathy, strength, and support for those whose voices need to be heard and remembered.

Students at Virginia Union University are continuing to gain hands-on experience in the workforce through enriching internship opportunities. Alexis Truman, a VUU Mass Communications student and native of Richmond, is interning at the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), a nonprofit organization based in Richmond, Virginia, that manages the nation’s organ transplant system.

After seeing the organization’s impact on the Richmond community, Alexis first heard of UNOS and wanted to apply for an internship.

As an intern, Alexis is active in various organizational initiatives and projects. She has played a pivotal role in conducting interviews to start a blog highlighting Senior Leadership Team members (SLT). Another project included establishing an intern spotlight for UNOS’ social media channels.

Her background as a communications student from VUU has prepared her for an internship at UNOS, strengthening her understanding of the critical role public relations plays in organ transplant management.

“I decided to attend VUU due to the abundance of opportunities open to students and the exceptional academic offerings,” Truman said.

UNOS works tirelessly to match donated organs with individuals on the national transplant waiting list, ensuring fairness and efficiency in organ allocation. UNOS’ efforts have transformed countless lives and provided hope to patients and their families.

“Working alongside the dedicated professionals at UNOS has been an immensely rewarding experience. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the mission of saving lives through organ donation and transplantation.”

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT WITH STATE DELEGATES DURING VUU DAY AT THE CAPITOL

Virginia Union University (VUU) students recently participated in VUU Day at the Capitol, where 50 students had the opportunity to engage with 21 delegates from the House and Senate.

Upon arrival at 8:00 am, the students were warmly welcomed on the 9th floor by Delegate Delores McQuinn and Delegate Nadarius Clark. They had the privilege of hearing from several members of the House and Senate until 10:40 am. Following this, the students were led to the House Gallery, where Delegate Clark took a moment to recognize the Panther football team.

During the event, a key message resonated with the students as all Delegates and Senators emphasized the importance of reaching out to individuals who may have different perspectives to ensure a comprehensive understanding of important issues. They encouraged the students to engage with those who have differing viewpoints to gain insight into how they think or will vote on matters that are important to them.

“Speak to those people in place who don’t look like you to make sure you know how they think or will vote on issues that matter to you,” Delegate Nadarius Clark said.

The event served as a reminder that while the federal government is significant, state government plays a crucial role in shaping policies that directly impact individuals. It was highlighted that understanding the stances of state Delegates and Senators on various issues is essential, as their decisions can have a direct impact on the lives of citizens.

Virginia Union University is committed to providing students with opportunities to engage with government officials and gain valuable insights into the legislative process. VUU Day at the Capitol was a successful event that empowered students to become more actively involved in state politics and advocate for issues that are important to them.

PANTHERS SHINE BRIGHT: VUU BASKETBALL TEAM’S UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY AT NBA HBCU CLASSIC

On Saturday, February 17th, 2024, the Virginia Union University (VUU) men’s basketball team, along with our marching band and cheer team, embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the third annual NBA HBCU Classic at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The NBA HBCU Classic is a special event that honors and celebrates the historic and influential role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in American sports and society. It also serves as an opportunity for HBCU students to gain insight into the world of professional sports and potentially open doors for future career opportunities.

The Panthers were invited to participate in the classic alongside other top HBCU basketball teams. The team was thrilled and honored to showcase their skills on a national stage (TNT, NBA TV, and ESPN2) and represent our university.

But it wasn’t just about the game. The team and the accompanying band and cheerleaders were also given the chance to participate in various events and activities during their time at the classic.

Their first event was a welcome meeting with NBA legend and Indianapolis native, Fred Jones. Jones, who played for the Indiana Pacers and won the 2004 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, shared words of wisdom and inspiration with the team, encouraging them to work hard and never give up on their dreams.

The Panthers also had the opportunity to give back to the community through a NBA Cares volunteer activity. They spent the morning helping to package one million meals in 24 hours as part of NBA Cares All-Star Day of Service.

The ‘Ambassadors of Sound’ band and ‘Rah Rah’ cheer team also got their moment to shine at the Google Pixel Combine Pep Rally, where they performed for a crowd of excited NBA fans and players. Their energetic and spirited performance added even more excitement to the already buzzing atmosphere.

One of the most memorable events for our Panthers was the HBCU Discussion Panel, featuring Dex Robinson, Luke Lawal Jr., and Rhymefest – all successful HBCU alumni. The panelists shared their experiences and offered advice on how to succeed in both sports and beyond.

Before the big game, the team had a locker room meeting with some of the NBA’s biggest stars. Stephen Curry, Damien Lillard, and Ben Wallace. Wallace, a four-time NBA All-Star who was named to the D1 First Team All America while at VUU, is another highly regarded Panther alumnus to whom we have dedicated our gym. They spoke to the team, offering words of encouragement and advice on how to perform at their best under pressure.

The excitement continued as the band performed with singer and actress Coco Jones, singing the Black National Anthem “Lift Every Voice” with spirit. The powerful performance left the audience in awe and was a proud moment for both the team and the university.

But the fun didn’t stop there. The Panthers also had the opportunity to attend the All-Star Saturday Night, where they witnessed the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, and Dunk Contest. Our Panthers were inspired by the incredible athleticism and sportsmanship of the NBA’s top players.

In addition to all the basketball-related events, the team also took part in a career development session and panel.

VUU AWARDED 2023 FULBRIGHT-HAYS GRANT FOR INNOVATIVE STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM IN SENEGAL

Virginia Union University has been honored with the 2023 Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad (GPA) grant award. This academic initiative, “Africa Rising: Hip Hop, Politics, and Critical Resilience in Senegal,” is a four-week study abroad program scheduled for July 2024. The project will bring together a team led by Ima Hicks, Assistant Professor of Languages and Literature, comprising six VUU students and six educators from the Richmond Public School system. The destination for this endeavor is the West African Research Center in Dakar, Senegal. The primary objective of this project is to explore and comprehend the diverse strategies employed by young individuals, with a particular focus on the role of Hip-Hop culture and their engagement with media and communication technologies in facilitating societal change.

The program itinerary includes rigorous academic activities such as lectures, seminars, and roundtable discussions, all led by esteemed university professors, government officials, and national, local, and regional youth organizations. Additionally, guided visits to culturally and historically significant sites will provide participants with a deeper understanding of contemporary youth dynamics in Senegal. Throughout the program, participants will gain insights into the historical context of youth in modern-day Senegal, examining the intersections of youth, culture, education, religion, African traditions, and republican institutions.

Furthermore, they will enhance their proficiency in the French language and deepen their appreciation for African Francophone culture. Additionally, participants will receive introductory instruction in Wolof, the predominant language spoken in Senegal, given its multiethnic and multilingual nature.

The Fulbright-Hays GPA program is vital in supporting educational institutions and nonprofit entities that develop overseas initiatives for K–12 teachers, college students, and faculty members. These initiatives encompass short-term and long-term projects that focus on training, research, and curriculum development in modern foreign languages and area studies. Short-term projects within the GPA program include seminars, curriculum development, and group research or study. On the other hand, long-term projects are designed to facilitate advanced intensive overseas programs, particularly in languages, humanities, or social sciences. Furthermore, these projects must have a regional focus within one or more of the following areas: Africa, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia

and the Pacific, the Western Hemisphere (including Central and South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean), East Central Europe and Eurasia, and the Near East.

FOSTERING CROSS-CULTURAL CONNECTIONS THROUGH UGANDA EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE

Virginia Union University (VUU) alumni, namely Mingo Peterson, Juan Vincent, and Dr. James, recently returned from Uganda, specifically at the International University of Eastern Africa (IUEA). Their visit was graciously facilitated by Dr. Reginald Freeman and Dr. Deborah Freeman, who serves as Executive Directors in the “Bridging the Gap” program, a vital component of VUU’s Office of Study Away, and esteemed members of the VUU community.

The “Bridging the Gap” program at Virginia Union University is pivotal in fostering international student engagement. It is designed to encourage VUU students to seize the opportunities presented by studying abroad, volunteering, and engaging in service-learning activities in Uganda, and vice versa. The program’s overarching objective is to establish connections and enhance cultural understanding between our institution and other nations.

During their visit, Peterson, Vincent, and Dr. James actively participated in a distinctive mentoring initiative to educate and guide underprivileged children in Ugandan schools.

All three individuals are prominent members of VCAAM, the Virginia Union College for African American Men. This program steadfastly supports the academic pursuits of black male students within the university. Through their affiliation with VCAAM, they became acquainted with the prospect of international mentorship in Uganda.

When reflecting on their transformative experience, Peterson and Vincent expressed their profound enthusiasm for the program and the meaningful connections they forged with Ugandan students. Peterson articulated, “We demonstrated that, despite hailing from diverse nations and backgrounds,

we share numerous commonalities. This program serves as a conduit for building bridges between our two countries, a much-needed endeavor.”

Vincent, in particular, cherished his initial visit to primary schools, where he felt genuine acceptance and respect from the students. On the other hand, Peterson developed an affinity for Uganda’s historical sites, particularly emphasizing the five kingdoms. Although they had the privilege of visiting three of these kingdoms, the Buganda and Bunyoro Kingdoms left an indelible impression on Peterson.

During their stay in a serene suburban neighborhood, they relished the opportunity to savor local delicacies, including matoke, goat meat, and a delightful assortment of fresh fruits. Remarkably, they even had the chance to pluck fruits directly from trees within the neighborhood.

Reflecting on the entire experience, Vincent shared, “The entire experience was truly remarkable. We encountered individuals who bore a striking resemblance to us, and despite the occasional jests about our accents, they embraced us wholeheartedly. Their campus was distinct, aesthetically pleasing, and remarkably affordable. We cherished every moment of our time there.”

Now, the Office of Study Away at Virginia Union University is eager to expand the participation of VUU students in the Uganda program. Prospective VUU students are strongly encouraged to explore the myriad opportunities available for studying, serving, and growing in Uganda, thereby further enriching their academic journey.

PIONEERING PARTNERSHIP: VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY AND STEINBRIDGE GROUP

REVOLUTIONIZE RICHMOND’S NORTH SIDE

In a groundbreaking announcement that reverberated through the halls of academia and the streets of Richmond alike, Virginia Union University (VUU) unveiled a historic collaboration with the esteemed Steinbridge Group, marking a monumental $40 million investment set to transform the landscape of Richmond’s North Side. This alliance not only signals a watershed moment for VUU but also charts a course towards economic revitalization and empowerment for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) nationwide.

At the heart of this unprecedented venture lies a shared vision between Virginia Union University and the Steinbridge Group, fortified by the principles of the Student Freedom Initiative (SFI). By harnessing the potential of underutilized real estate assets owned by the university, this initiative aims to pioneer a sustainable model for commercial and residential development, bridging the gap between market-rate and affordable housing options. In doing so, it addresses the systemic funding inequities that have long hindered the growth and prosperity of HBCUs and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs).

It represents a collective endeavor to empower students and uplift communities, positioning VUU as a beacon of progress and opportunity in Northside Richmond.

This transformative partnership extends far beyond monetary investment; it embodies a shared commitment to fostering financial independence and catalyzing lasting societal change. By providing pathways for Virginia Union graduates to achieve homeownership, the initiative not only safeguards against the perils of displacement but also fosters the creation of generational wealth within historically marginalized communities.

The announcement of this momentous partnership, coinciding with Virginia Union’s Founders Day celebration, served as a testament to the university’s visionary leadership and strategic foresight. With plans underway to commence the development project in collaboration with Richmond-based KEI Architects, VUU is

poised to realize its ambitious 10-year, $500 million master plan, fueled by record enrollment figures and a burgeoning national reputation.

Yet, the significance of this partnership transcends the confines of academia, resonating deeply within the broader landscape of social and economic equity. As articulated by Robert F. Smith, founder and chairman of SFI, this initiative represents a concerted effort to dismantle barriers and forge pathways towards closing the racial wealth gap through educational empowerment.

Virginia Union University is honored to stand at the vanguard of this historic endeavor, buoyed by the unwavering support of the Steinbridge Group, SFI, and esteemed community partners. With resounding endorsements from figures such as Governor Glenn Youngkin and Mayor Levar M. Stoney, the transformative potential of this investment extends far beyond the confines of the university, heralding a new era of prosperity for the entire Commonwealth of Virginia.

As we embark on this transformative journey, Virginia Union University remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation, excellence, and community engagement. Together with our partners, we are forging a future where education serves as a catalyst for economic empowerment and societal resilience, ushering in a brighter, more equitable tomorrow for our students, our community, and HBCUs nationwide.
