筹款活动从7月20日持续到8月20日
VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩 will soon break ground on NPHC Plaza, a visual tribute to Blazer Nation’s commitment to educate on diversity, enhance equity, and embrace inclusivity. 支持该项目开发的在线筹款活动将于今晚6点开始，持续到8月20日。
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) Inc., an organization composed of nine historically African American fraternities and sororities, was founded in May 1930 at Howard University in Washington D.C. According to council history, the nine organizations “evolved during a period when African Americans were being denied essential rights and privileges afforded others. Racial isolation on predominantly white campuses and social barriers of class on all campuses created a need for African Americans to align themselves with other individuals sharing common goals and ideals.”
The NPHC became active at vs上 in May 1971 with the chartering of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.’s Theta Tau Chapter less than eight years after the university admitted its first two African American students. 未来12年这些女性也加入了Kappa Upsilon章ακα妇女联谊会Inc .αφαμο一章的兄弟会Inc . Kappaδφ章β西格玛兄弟会Inc .καλφ章的Psi兄弟会Inc .的λβ章σ伽马ρ妇女联谊会Inc .的αθ章ζφβ妇女联谊会,Inc .,τδδωψφ博爱公司的章。 vs上’s NPHC was completed in 2001 with the chartering of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc.’s Delta Phi Chapter.
“The plaza idea has been discussed among students for several years, but until recently we did not have the joint coordination with local alumni representatives to help initiate the fundraising process,” shared Dr. Vince Miller, vice president for the Division of 学生事务. “It's the generosity of our NPHC alumni that will make this project happen.
“During the pandemic many of the traditional activities that our NPHC organizations host could not take place, but it provided the time to bring everyone together to plan out this project. As we celebrate 50 years of NPHC contribution to our campus experience, I am hopeful the plaza will become an active space for our students and alumni.”
vs上’s NPHC chapters have had and continue to have an enormous impact on campus and in the community. 这些学生贡献了无数的志愿服务时间和捐款，以支持大学和周围社区成为生活，学习，工作和娱乐的理想场所。 他们的平均成绩始终高于非附属学校的学生，并在毕业那天庆祝他们的学业成就。
vs上’s NPHC chapters are the cornerstone of social engagement on campus and drive the social calendar by providing engaging and educational programing for the campus community. 通过他们对领导力发展的承诺，这些组织已经培养出了学生会主席和参议员、大学大使、迎新领导和各种大学工作小组的学生代表。
NPHC广场将确保开拓者国家家族的过去，现在和未来的几代人理解和欣赏这些组织在校园中继续产生的影响和积极的遗产。
“As the president of the NPHC, I am overjoyed that all nine of our organizations will be showcased on campus,” said Nfiniti Pierce, who also serves as sisterhood chair of the Lambda Beta chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. “It will be a common place on campus for us to unify and come together. As a member of my respective organization, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., it will be monumental to have such a significant piece of history permanently placed to gather around and bring family and friends to see for generations to come.”
在整个项目的规划和发展阶段，皮尔斯一直担任NPHC学生成员和瓦尔多斯塔校友分会之间的联络人。 她预计将于2022年5月毕业，获得教育学学士学位，主修基础教育，辅修心理学。
vs上希望在9月18日在NPHC广场破土动工，并在11月初的2021年返校节期间举办剪彩庆祝活动。 它将位于帕特森街和布鲁克伍德路的交叉口附近。
欢迎任何数额的捐款。
对于那些希望纪念他们对这个项目的支持，NPHC已经建立了一个纪念铺砖计划。 NPHC alumni who make a donation of $200 or more will be given the opportunity to personalize a paver in a premium location within their organization’s section of the plaza. 捐款至少100美元的美高梅博彩的朋友将有机会在通往广场的道路上个性化铺路机。
“NPHC alumni and friends, this is our time to shine,” said Ronald Skrine, president of the Valdosta 校友 Chapter of the NPHC who joined the Kappa Delta Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. as a student at vs上. 他现在是瓦尔多斯塔消防局负责专业标准和资格的营长。
“This is a very special place for thousands of NPCH alumni, many of whom played basketball on the old courts that were there for so many years. 我们邀请您加入我们，通过帮助我们建造这个令人难以置信的广场来纪念我们引以为傲的NPHC历史。 我已经买了我的砖。 I hope you purchase one, too.”
vs上的NPHC希望筹集11万美元来开发NPHC广场。 超过该数额的任何资金将支持NPHC学生的奖学金。
