FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

This year, I am pleased to announce that the cover of HTI’s annual brochure is illustrated by artist and HTI graduate, Dr. Yohana A. Junker, Associate Professor of Art, Religion, and Culture at Claremont School of Theology. A native of Brazil, Dr. Junker named her artwork “Entre-laçar,” which symbolizes the intricate interconnection of the diverse aspects of relationships, networks, and partnerships within the HTI culture. The lines and colors in the artwork run parallel, simultaneously showcasing their respective individuality and their harmony with one another as a whole. Indeed, “Entre-laçar,” mirrors my experience at HTI, where a community of exceptional individuals united to cultivate the unique talents each person brings to their field, denomination, and academic pursuits to enhance the academy, the Church, and the world.

Despite the ongoing challenges we encounter, the Latine community brings fiesta as a form of resistance. By embracing a festive outlook, we affirm that we do not need to sacrifice joy and celebration in the pursuit of excellence. Instead, fiesta animates us to remain steadfast in our vocations, resilient in our scholarly endeavors, and committed to the pursuit of a more just world. In essence, we refuse to succumb to despair; together, we continue en conjunto to dream, envision, and create opportunities for growth and flourishing within the HTI community.

It is in this spirit, that HTI is thrilled to announce two new grants with our partners…
