In the spirit of Heritage Month, alumna Diana Stanley ’17 sat down with Laura Hartley, director of annual giving, to explore some artifacts from Newman Archives on a recent episode of “The Newman Bond” podcast.

Stanley, who graduated as a history major with minors in English, international studies and pre-law, also spent countless hours as a student worker for Archives.

“Diana has a unique knowledge of the history of Newman, our Heritage Month and our homecoming activities,” Hartley explained.

In this show-and-tell-like episode, Stanley discussed the significance of Newman’s history in the form of cookbooks, posters and a teapot from High Tea; homecoming week articles from The Vantage student-run newspaper, scrapbooks and an Athletics Hall of Fame shield; a T-shirt, pennant, a pompom and even a bronze shoe.
