Being You at BNU – Many Voices, One Place
Call for your voice, your input!
Staff and students from BNU have been part of this special activity and output to celebrate what makes the BNU university community precious and rich – our people!
Chronicle has been working with BNU on the Being You at BNU – Many Voices, One Place to collect and curate real voices from the University into short statements that highlight identities, personalities, belonging and uniqueness. Chronicle has integrated those statements into branded, interactive “Snapshot” memory cubes that are being showcased in and out of campus. You can also listen to the recordings below.

BNU is proud of its staff and student community. Our voices and experiences shape the unique culture of their campus and University. We want to capture them, all, including yours. The Being You Network celebrates and amplifies voices across our community, especially those from underrepresented and under-resourced groups in Higher Education.
This collection of “Snapshot Boxes” is an audio collage that brings together BNU voices to showcase what makes BNU so special, in the voices of Staff and Students.
Would you like to add your voice? We’d love to add your voice to our collection!
