A presentation that entails my discoveries throughout Eastern, KY and Berea, KY about the impact social media can have on small-businesses. Also, I reveal a number of insights gained about the Appalachian region as my colleagues and I worked on the promotion and certification of Trail Towns throughout the eight Kentucky River Area Development District. I weave in my personal growths, memories, and future plans as I reflected on how the Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program has impacted my way of thinking and my view of the Appalachian region.

Created Equal: Civil Rights Outreach @ Mississippi Academic LibrariesHillary Richardson
This dynamic session will showcase how three universities in Mississippi promoted and participated in the “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle” grant. This film and discussion series is part of the National Endowment for the Humanities’ and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History’s effort to continue the conversation about civil rights and equality in the United States. Participants will learn about the grant process, challenges and highlights from the events, and lessons learned through collaboration. In addition to the films and their follow-up discussions, the libraries offered supplemental programming and used social media to garner more publicity and generate more discussion for these events. We will discuss the in-person methods and media outlets used to keep the conversation about civil rights going on our respective campuses, and will discuss how outreach and social media factored in the evaluation of our efforts and the planning for future programming.

MARCOM
This past fall, the Humanities
Institute sought to confront some
of the devastating effects of the
intersecting forms of violence
committed against people of
marginalized identities in the
contemporary United States. In
the face of these crises, there are
people doing tremendous work
of intervention, agitation, and
resistance—work that is constant,
multifaceted, simultaneous, and
that perseveres.
This spring, the Humanities
Institute welcomes scholars,
artists, activists, dancers, poets,
writers, and musicians who are
using their intellect and talents
to further the discussions of
systemic and overt violence. As
agents of change, they further
the urgent and necessary work of
dismantling systems of inequality
and social injustice, and they
inspire the activism and calls
for social justice that will better
shape our world.
