德比摩根艺术基金
使命:艺术基金
We are dedicated to raising funds to create a large-scale community art project at 西北维斯塔学院 to honor our dear friend, Dr. Deb Morgan, the visionary who helped create our college.
遗产:黛布·摩根
Dr. Deb Morgan began her career at NVC in 1997 as one of the creators of the 大学. 院长, she created an entire college admissions department and named it as a permanent reflection of the 大学’s focus: Student Success. She built a team of individuals who dedicated their entire careers to help students succeed. Deb’s vision for our campus led to the creation of this beautiful, 以学生为中心 place. 然后, 作为建筑师之间的联络人, 建筑商, 和大学社区, she guided us through the next building phase. 在每个十字路口, Deb kept us focused on our mission by asking, “How will this decision affect our students?”
As 区 Director of Strategic Initiatives and Performance Excellence, Deb’s talent for promoting the idea of continuous improvement was critical in the 阿拉莫大学’ winning the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 2018.
While her passing in 2018 due to pancreatic cancer was a heartbreaking loss to her friends, 家庭, 以及整个大学社区, her fierce spirit and love of life 和学习 will always be a part of this campus.
和平.
愿景:为创造

Our vision is to create a permanent work of art that will serve as a focal point for the campus, 社区的聚集地, and a celebration of Deb Morgan’s life and commitment to students. Looking out over the lake around which our 大学 is built, this “reflecting station" will create a confluence of nature, 美, 分享, 和学习. Our piece will invite students to gather, enjoy the view of our beautiful campus, and perhaps be inspired to design their own creations. |

Creating this sculpture will be community artist and NVC faculty member Diana Kersey. Her belief that successful public art projects help to strengthen communities and lower barriers means that students and the entire NVC community will play a vital role in this creation. Her work allows for immediate access, enhancing the environment in a way that everyone can enjoy. 作为一名陶瓷大师, Kersey’s public work is widely known in 圣安东尼奥, and can be seen from the Five-Points Via Bus Station to the Houston Street Bridge downtown. Her pieces have been widely shown in festivals, galleries and museums throughout Texas. |
