AMY WHITE joined the Center as its outreach coordinator in September 2006. She provides outreach to the public and academic communities about the Center's resources, research and programs. She also organizes events, maintains the Center's Web site and produces reports on the Center's grant-funded projects. White has a BA in American Studies, minoring in Rhetoric and Communication, from University of California, Davis. Her coursework studied how values - through religious, racial, ethnic, gender, generational and class identities - shape society, with an emphasis on media and communications.
Before coming to the Center, White was a newspaper reporter for 12 years, the last four covering how faith, values and ethnic traditions intersect with individuals' lives and the global community. White has won several reporting awards. A Religion Newswriters Association member, she received an RNA fellowship in 2004 and was a finalist for religion reporter of the year at mid-size publications in 2005.
