It had all the star power of a Hollywood awards show; actors Dennis Quaid and Billy Porter&nbsp;made video appearances. It had the high-energy feel of a rockin\u2019 club, thanks to bachata lessons from the Latinx Student Alliance and a DJ-led dance party. And, said those who attended the premiere last Thursday, it showed how far EMU has come in its commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/dei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diversity, equity and inclusion<\/a> (DEI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nationally-syndicated, short-form documentary focuses on EMU and its approach to advancing DEI as a peace and justice university. The <em>Viewpoint<\/em> <em>with Dennis Quaid<\/em> crew filmed footage on the Harrisonburg, Virginia, campus in late October. The four-and-a-half-minute episode will be distributed to public television affiliates nationwide during the week of April 29 and will air in all 50 states for an estimated reach of more than 60 million households.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/26151933\/20240321-Viewpoint-Premiere-006-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56078\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/26151933\/20240321-Viewpoint-Premiere-006-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/26151933\/20240321-Viewpoint-Premiere-006-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/26151933\/20240321-Viewpoint-Premiere-006-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/26151933\/20240321-Viewpoint-Premiere-006-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/03\/26151933\/20240321-Viewpoint-Premiere-006.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Deanna Reed, left, and Braydon Hoover serve as the night&#8217;s hosts.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is the first time in university history that EMU will be showcased on such a grand national scale,\u201d said EMU Regional Advancement Director and Harrisonburg Mayor <strong>Deanna Reed<\/strong>, who served as a host for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viewpointproject.com\/features-postid0a94eadd\/\">full video<\/a> on the <em>Viewpoint<\/em> <em>with Dennis Quaid<\/em> website.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the documentary episode, a 30-second promo for EMU will air during peak time (7-11:45 a.m.) and prime time (6-11:45 p.m.) on news networks between April 4 and April 30.
