Westminster College Announces B. W. Bastian Foundation Gift

Utah Business Magazine
4 August 2009

Westminster College announced today that the B. W. Bastian Foundation has renewed its sponsorship of the college's diversity lecture series. The 2009-2010 Bastian Foundation Diversity Lecture Series will offer a forum for students, activists, professionals, and community members to share their knowledge and ideas on diversity issues. The theme of this year's series is "What Can I Do? Can One Person Make A Difference?" The foundation supported the diversity lecture series last year, and previously supported other diversity-related initiatives at the college.

"The Bastian Foundation is honored to sponsor the diversity lecture series for another year," said Michael Marriott, executive director. "We are pleased that Westminster is committed to promoting equality for all and exploring the power that everyone has to improve the human condition."

The lecture series will highlight achievements of individuals who have made a significant difference in striving for social justice by forming an organization or movement. It will focus on what individuals can do to eradicate societal isms such as classism, racism, sexism, heterosexism, and ageism, as well as discrimination issues based on immigration status, religion, national origin, and other backgrounds. The first lecture on Monday, September 28, 2009, will feature Margarita Alcantara, a community activist and advocate for Filipina/Asian Pacific Islander, lesbian, gay, and feminist communities.

"I am delighted that the Bastian Foundation is supporting such an important component of Westminster's diversity efforts," said President Michael Bassis. "The diversity lecture series helps promote Westminster's core value of respect for diverse people and perspectives. I am most grateful to the Bastian Foundation for their continuing support."
