What is Ampersand?

The ampersand symbolizes the kind of “connected learning” that happens at Emory & Henry College.

Students here do more than just take their classes, complete a major, and receive a diploma. A real education is about tying all of your college experiences together. We help students make connections:

across disciplines
between the curricular and co-curricular
to personal experiences and interests
with the larger world

When you walk into your first job interview, we don’t want you to open with, “I have a degree in __________ from Emory & Henry College.” We want you to lead with, “Let me tell you about all the amazing things I accomplished while at Emory & Henry College.” Then, throughout your interview, you will be able to talk about the ways in which your work has had an impact on you, others, and the world.

Students Sophia Alonge, Summer Apostol, Allison Cernoch & Theresa Mitten presented their work as part of the Student Showcase for Ampersand Day<em>. </em>Naturally drawn to the interesting people portrayed within the collection, the class gravitated toward choosing pieces with a common element: the human face. The face has the ability to transcend language, culture, and other barriers. It has the power to convey so much without words; expressing our true selves, our feelings, yet also yielding the ability to mask the truth.</p></div>

Until 1998, Northern Ireland was a war zone, as Catholics and Protestants fought each other for control of the North. Now that the violence has ended, Feezell presented his research and asked how individuals view the limits of their communities. </p></div>
