UNION UNITY QUILT -Celebrating 215 years of your family history at Union CollegeJanuary 2009
- December 2009
Union College will celebrate its 215th Year Anniversary in the year 2010. In prelude of this celebration, the Multicultural Affairs and Campus Diversity Offices are in the process of planning a special project that will be inclusive of the entire campus community.This project will begin during January 2009 and will end by December 2009. The project is call the "UNION UNITY QUILT" and the theme will be "Celebrating 215 years of our family history at Union College".
We are asking all members of the campus community; academic departments, student organizations, athletics teams, residence halls, alumni, Minerva houses, fratenities and sororities to donate a piece of fabric that will measures 18 inches by 18 inches or create a 12 inches by 12 inches square patch. Please find a piece of fabric or create a square patch that will represent your family background, for example: your culture; beliefs; family history; or values; or your group or organization's logo or letters. This piece of fabric or square patch will simply remind you of home and your family. Some suggestions would be the flag's from one's country, a particular custom or ceremony, special proverbs, music lyrics, events, colors, recipes or life styles.
Embellish your creation by sewing, beading, applique, cutting and pasting, painting, drawing and by ironing or printing photos. If you choose to write on the fabric, you must use a fabric pen - not a permanent pen. If you need help creating your square patch or would like to volunteer to assemble the quilt please contact Judi Gordon at gordonj@union.edu. We will be collecting the pieces of fabric and square patches from until summer 2009. Please mail or hand delivers your piece of fabric to the Multicultural Affairs Office @ Union College Reamer Campus Center Room # 304.
