app Story Mosaic: Sharing Stories, Building Community
Be a part of the story
In our C+V declaration, we declare our intention to “engage multiple perspectives and foster greater belonging.”
The app Story Mosaic is a cross-campus collaboration that recognizes the incredible power of storytelling. Modeled after the and building on our C+V Community Voices work, this initiative aims to bring together the entire app Community to engage in a meaningful exchange of our unique stories. Our hope is that community members listen, learn from each other, and practice reflection to experience personal growth in the process. We also seek to inspire change within our organization through storytelling.
The app Story Mosaic will offer participants the opportunity to share stories through a variety of creative expressions, such as one-on-one and group conversations, spoken word, art, and poetry, both publicly and anonymously, to cultivate an embodied community experience where everyone can feel safe to be vulnerable and their authentic selves.
Born out of the Experience Pathway, C+V and our app community is making it a mission to gather the stories of the people we work, study, and live with to share our stories. There is power in a person’s story—in their culture, background, and experiences. These stories help us to understand the different experiences of people on our campus and how we can take action steps to ensure app is a welcoming and inclusive place for all.
Many of our app community members have already responded with bravery and a willingness to share, and we are honored to feature their voices in our app Story Mosaic. We intentionally have created this space for our community. We want to emphasize that we encourage all of those listening to these stories to practice active listening, compassion, and empathy. This project is meant to honor and recognize that each individual’s story is unique to them, and this is not meant to be a space for conflict, but rather, a place for learning from one another in our community and creating connection so that we can begin to create a deep sense of belonging at app for all.
We commit to continuing our efforts to capture our students, faculty, staff, and alumni stories. And it’s more essential than ever to feel belonging and to bond through our shared values and unique experiences.
