Each of us has a story, firmly planted in the ground of our personal values, which makes us who we are. When we are brave enough to share these experiences, something spectacular happens.
As we come together as students and openly express our beliefs and backgrounds, prejudice, bigotry, and ignorance dissipate. We begin to see each other and our world in a different light; together, our stories make a clearer picture of ourselves and our university.
The purpose of The Grace A. Tanner Center’s student story project ties into the center’s mission--to discuss “the full range of values... pertinent to the human condition.” Here, you can learn of experiences from all over SUU campus shared through art, photography, audio, and the written word.
Self, Community, and Human Values
"As we continue to make our lives together, as we continue to lean into this sweetness, may we also continue to see each other and give ourselves permission to shine."
- Vijay Gupta, 2019 Grace A. Tanner Lecture
