Dr. Strayhorn, once said, "belonging shapes the interpretive lens or aperture that people use to make meaning of moments, encounters, or experiences." We believe in creating cultural opportunities for people to sense and know that they belong: in our communities, in society, and in our world. To learn more about our cultural endeavors, see our cultural awareness page.
