also had been born deaf,

was born hard of hearing.

because my mother
02:42.862 --> 02:45.765 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
had learned how to speak
and speech-read, uh,

that she had learned.
02:49.736 --> 02:54.040 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%

that was a lot of immersion

04:54.160 --> 04:56.629 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%

at least till
her early 20s--
04:58.765 --> 05:00.800 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
somewhat unusual.

05:11.377 --> 05:13.479 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
And it should have been

05:13.579 --> 05:15.281 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
from the time I was born,
05:15.381 --> 05:17.684 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
but I didn't have
the opportunity to learn.
05:17.784 --> 05:19.686 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
(narrator)
While studying in Iowa,
05:19.786 --> 05:22.055 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
Jane met members
of the deaf community,

for the first time.

And that was
a tremendous benefit to me.
05:28.361 --> 05:30.563 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
So I will say that, um...
05:30.663 --> 05:34.667 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
I learned more about myself
from the Iowa deaf community
05:34.767 --> 05:37.070 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
than I had ever
learned before.
05:37.170 --> 05:41.240 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
They taught me most about me
as a deaf person.
05:41.341 --> 05:43.710 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
I gained, um,
astronomically in confidence
05:43.810 --> 05:45.878 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
and an understanding
of myself.
05:45.978 --> 05:48.614 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
And I would not be the Guilford

the Guilford
College president,
06:10.703 --> 06:13.806 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%

during the 17th century
06:23.483 --> 06:26.252 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
after splitting
from mainstream Protestantism.
06:26.352 --> 06:29.622 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%

for communion with Christ

06:38.598 --> 06:40.633 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
They were derided
asquakers
06:40.733 --> 06:44.170 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
because of their willingness
to "tremble before the Lord."
06:44.270 --> 06:46.873 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
These days,
Quakers have embraced the name
06:46.973 --> 06:49.575 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
and are known
for their peaceful ways,
06:49.675 --> 06:51.844 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%

to community service,
06:51.944 --> 06:53.479 align:left position:35%,start line:89% size:55%
and silence.
06:53.579 --> 06:56.816 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
Guilford College is no longer
run by the Quakers,
06:56.916 --> 07:00.420 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
although it continues
to be shaped by Quaker values:
07:00.520 --> 07:06.392 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
community, diversity,
equality, excellence,
07:06.492 --> 07:10.530 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
integrity, justice,
and stewardship.

[piano leads

The college began
as New Garden Boarding School,
07:15.201 --> 07:16.969 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
established
to serve Quaker students
07:17.069 --> 07:19.305 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
in the Guilford County area.
07:19.405 --> 07:21.607 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75%
They came here,
and they called it New Garden
07:21.707 --> 07:23.042 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5%
because of the lushness
07:23.142 --> 07:25.178 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65%
and the rolling hills
that they found here.

(narrator)
The boarding school site
07:27.046 --> 07:29.248 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
was the homeplace
of a leading abolitionist.
07:29.348 --> 07:32.185 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
There, a 300-year-old
tulip poplar still stands,
07:32.285 --> 07:34.754 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
which in the years
leading up to the Civil War
07:34.854 --> 07:36.489 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
became a landmark
for enslaved people
07:36.589 --> 07:39.225 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
trying to find their way
to freedom in the North.
07:39.325 --> 07:40.960 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
(man)
And it was well known
07:41.060 --> 07:43.296 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80%
that if you were
escaping for freedom,
07:43.396 --> 07:45.598 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80%
that you could find
the Quaker family,
07:45.698 --> 07:47.867 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80%
and this community
would be protective
07:47.967 --> 07:50.269 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
and not only
give you a map
07:50.369 --> 07:51.871 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
to the next
safe house
07:51.971 --> 07:53.673 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
but also provide you
with food,
07:53.773 --> 07:56.375 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
provide you with medical, uh,
assistance, uh,
07:56.476 --> 07:58.411 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
as you move
toward freedom.

Happy Thursday, um.
08:03.049 --> 08:05.017 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
We have lots
of great work to do,
08:05.117 --> 08:07.086 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
have lots of great work
behind us,
08:07.186 --> 08:09.388 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
but to get us
off to a great start,
08:09.489 --> 08:11.424 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
let's just have
a moment of silence.
08:11.524 --> 08:12.859 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
[sustained, quiet chords]
08:12.959 --> 08:15.261 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
(narrator)
So it was with no little irony
08:15.361 --> 08:16.896 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5%
that thoughtful
Jane Fernandes,
08:16.996 --> 08:18.731 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
who lives
enshrouded by silence,
08:18.831 --> 08:21.734 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
should end up here
in this Quaker community
08:21.834 --> 08:25.505 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
that begins each gathering
with a moment of silence.
08:25.605 --> 08:28.140 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
In most of my experience, um,
08:28.241 --> 08:33.145 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
the silence in which I live
is not viewed positively, um.
08:33.246 --> 08:38.050 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
I was taught all my life
to, um, work against that,
08:38.150 --> 08:40.253 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
be as hearing as possible.
08:40.353 --> 08:43.256 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
And then, when I came here,
I found people
08:43.356 --> 08:46.592 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
who were eager to move
to a state of silence.
08:46.692 --> 08:49.395 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
So that had
a deep resonance with me.
08:49.495 --> 08:52.732 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
And we, uh--
I enjoy very much, uh--
08:52.832 --> 08:55.201 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
not just enjoy but I respect
08:55.301 --> 08:58.237 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
and deeply appreciate
the silence
08:58.337 --> 09:01.073 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
that we often have here
at Guilford College,
09:01.173 --> 09:03.776 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
where we attempt
to center down
09:03.876 --> 09:06.379 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
and listen
to our deep inner--
09:06.479 --> 09:09.015 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
inner selves and get to, um,
09:09.115 --> 09:12.051 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
know what the truth is
as a community.
09:12.151 --> 09:14.287 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
I appreciate that
very much, yes.
09:14.387 --> 09:17.623 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65%
And I was doing homework
outside the library, and--
09:17.723 --> 09:21.027 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70%
and one of the trustees
was showing Jane the campus,
09:21.127 --> 09:23.596 align:left position:37.5%,start line:83% size:52.5%
and she came up to me
and said,
09:23.696 --> 09:25.898 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
"This is Jane Fernandes,
and she's applying
09:25.998 --> 09:29.101 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
to be our next president,"
and so we started talking,
09:29.201 --> 09:32.004 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
and we started to comment
how her last name
09:32.104 --> 09:34.540 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
was similar to my middle name,
which is Fernando,
09:34.640 --> 09:36.542 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
and her last name
is Fernandes.
09:36.642 --> 09:38.411 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5%
I think it was
an exciting moment
09:38.511 --> 09:39.845 align:left position:32.5%,start line:5% size:57.5%
for both of us.
09:39.946 --> 09:42.148 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70%
She was about to become
the first woman president
09:42.248 --> 09:44.450 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70%
of Guilford College,
and I was about to become
09:44.550 --> 09:46.285 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
the first Latino
student body president.
09:46.385 --> 09:49.221 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5%
I think I could see
that she belonged here.

many diverse students

attracted to Guilford
College's inclusive setting
09:54.126 --> 09:56.028 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
and variety of opportunities,

But single mom Josie Williams
10:03.169 --> 10:06.739 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
discovered her opportunity
right here close to home.
10:06.839 --> 10:08.808 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75%
(Williams)
There was a point in my life
10:08.908 --> 10:10.543 align:left position:12.5%,start line:5% size:77.5%
I didn't have anywhere to stay,
10:10.643 --> 10:12.612 align:left position:22.5%,start line:5% size:67.5%
and going through that
and having that experience,
10:12.712 --> 10:14.046 align:left position:32.5%,start line:5% size:57.5%
I learned a lot.
10:14.146 --> 10:15.481 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
It was very challenging,
10:15.581 --> 10:17.550 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
but I wouldn't change it
for the world.
10:17.650 --> 10:19.619 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
And when I came out
of that experience,
10:19.719 --> 10:21.053 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
I just promised myself
10:21.153 --> 10:23.723 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
that if I was able
to help anyone
10:23.823 --> 10:26.258 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
in that type of environment,
that I would.
10:26.359 --> 10:27.827 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
And having that realization,
10:27.927 --> 10:30.296 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
I knew I had to get some
educational background
10:30.396 --> 10:31.731 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5%
'cause it's just not--
10:31.831 --> 10:33.799 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
it was a little bit
deeper than that.
10:33.899 --> 10:36.002 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
And so I started
looking for schools
10:36.102 --> 10:38.504 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
that had some kind
of social justice foundation,
10:38.604 --> 10:39.939 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
came across Guilford College,
10:40.039 --> 10:43.275 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
and I knew that was the school
I was gonna go to.

10:49.115 --> 10:51.150 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
She perfectly encapsulates
the combination
10:51.250 --> 10:53.285 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
of experience and opportunity
10:53.386 --> 10:56.622 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
offered through
a Guilford College education.
10:56.722 --> 11:00.159 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
And right in the middle
of it all is Jane Fernandes,
11:00.259 --> 11:02.461 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
a hands-on leader
with a commitment
11:02.561 --> 11:04.830 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
to student achievement
wherever she finds it,
11:04.930 --> 11:07.433 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
such as this display

very clearly yearns to be able
to hear students,
11:23.816 --> 11:26.285 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%

with a means

of creative communication
11:28.854 --> 11:30.890 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%

José talked of people
11:37.396 --> 11:39.365 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
willing to make a change
in the world,
11:39.465 --> 11:41.767 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
those willing to
"see the light in everybody,
11:41.867 --> 11:43.202 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
something good,"
he said,

"that can bring

to achieve a common goal."

That light, that treasure,

and around
the Fernandes family table,
12:01.721 --> 12:03.723 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
where periods
of quiet pleasure
12:03.823 --> 12:06.025 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
are bracketed
by loving laughter

of simply being together.

There's a new song in the air,
12:33.385 --> 12:34.653 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%

12:34.754 --> 12:36.856 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
during the planning
for Jane's inauguration.

Someone had asked me,

what song do you want
