Initiative Title	Lyric in a Time of War
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	*Lyric in a Time of War* is a combination of arts that blends music/poetry/writing in a moving tribute and meditation on war and remembrance. Tom Sleigh, multi-award-winning poet, essayist, Distinguished Professor in the MFA program at Hunter College, and Phil Klay, US Marine public affairs officer and veteran of Iraq, journalist, and National Book Award winner as author of Redeployment, will deliver readings interspersed in a concert of classical compositions. The American String Quartet, an internationally renowned classical ensemble, will perform a program of Bach, Beethoven, Barber, Bartok, and Shostakovich. This one performance combining literary and musical arts will take place on or near Veterans Day. A related exhibit and lecture will create a mini series of events within the time frame of Veterans Day. This major programming engenders substantial outreach to the general community of veterans through their organizations and agencies and community-at-large while encompassing the college community student/faculty/staff veterans as well. This event also brings collaboration with the veterans’ coordinator and alumni relations coordinator on campus. Music, writing, and poetry students will also be among those to benefit from this program.

Institutional Goals

Goal	How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011 2. To engage learners in an environment that develops their knowledge and skills in critical thinking, information and technology literacy, effective communication and enhances their awareness of civic responsibility and cultural diversity.	Sharing what happens in time of war through visuals on exhibit and writings and firsthand knowledge from poet, writer, and lecturer provides an educational experience and brings awareness of civic responsibility, cultural diversity, and the strength of the human spirit.
COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011 3. To establish public and private partnerships and provide programs and services that support and serve our county’s educational, economic, civic and cultural needs.	Through this programming, we will reach out to the general community of veterans through their organizations and agencies while including the college community student/faculty/staff/alumni veterans as well, and consequently, we will support community building partnerships.
COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011 5. To offer opportunities to learn with a dedicated and diverse faculty and staff who value excellence in teaching, service to students, creative collaboration and continuous improvement.	Creative opportunities of learning through music, poetry, writing, and exhibit will be extended to the college community with an emphasis on the veterans. By attending the performance, viewing the exhibit, and going to the lecture, attendees have the availability to interact through talkback, Q&A, and with each other.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020 PRIORITY III: Collaboration and Communication: We will develop connections between internal and external constituents and advance mutually beneficial partnerships. We will promote a culture of trust, respect, and collective responsibility. d: Strengthen the sense of community to improve the institutional climate and promote collegiality, civility, and mutual respect.	Honoring and recognizing veterans within the context of cultural heritage will strengthen a sense of community. By collaborating with veterans through their organizations and county agencies and the college’s veterans’ coordinator and alumni relations coordinator and welcoming the community-at-large, a true communication will better promote understanding, collective responsibility, and mutual respect.
