MU breaks ground for Intercultural
Center
On the chilly afternoon of Feb. 1, Manchester University broke ground for the new Jean Childs Young Intercultural Center. The new Intercultural Center will feature a domed multipurpose space named the Toyota Round, in recognition of Toyota’s $250,000 donation to the project. Manchester, a leader in equipping graduates to value, respect and learn about and from their differences, will use the space as a gathering place for students and area community and business leaders. The center is named for the late Jean Childs ’54 Young, who had a distinguished career as an educator and staunch advocate for education, child welfare and civil rights. She was the wife of Andrew Young, former U.S. ambassador, mayor of Atlanta and pillar of the civil rights movement.
