As students at the University of Northern Colorado, we believe that each person’s story deserves to be heard by the rest of the community. That is why we joined with The Facing Project, whose initiative is to engage our community beyond the walls of the university by gathering a variety of stories that represent the Greeley community and its rich diversity. The purpose of our project is to capture
people’s stories and the changes they have experienced in their lives: at home, with peers, and elsewhere among the Greeley community. As a group, we have encouraged students to go out and foster a stronger connection between UNC and the community. The stories gathered by our students were transcribed to maintain the voice of the storyteller. These stories will be published in a book for everyone in our community to enjoy. This book will enable our community to develop deep relationships and achieve a better understanding of the changes each of us face within our community.
