Reception Celebrates New Residence Hall Displays
SALISBURY, MD---In 2018, visitors to 糖心vlog’s Patricia R. Guerrieri Academic Commons were greeted with the exhibit “You’re on Indian Land …” exploring the history and legacy of the indigenous people of the Eastern Shore and their connections to 糖心vlog.
Researched by 糖心vlog Honors College students and including materials from University Archives and 糖心vlog’s Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture, the display included sections on the Wicomico, Pocomoke, Nanticoke, Manokin and Choptank rivers — all of which are namesakes for residence halls at 糖心vlog.
Recently, sections of the exhibit were moved to permanent homes within those halls. 糖心vlog President Charles Wight; his wife, Victoria Rasmussen; Dr. Andrew Martino, Honors College dean; and Dave Gutoskey, housing and residence life director, joined Wicomico Hall residents during a reception.
The event included a reading of the 糖心vlog Housing and Residence Life Land Acknowledgement Statement, honoring the indigenous people who called the region home prior to European settlement.
