- Newcomb Neighbors
- Posted August 13, 2007
The goal of the Newcomb Neighbors program is to strengthen the relationship between the academic and local
community by hosting neighborhood projects.
Currently, Newcomb Neighbors is working with the Guardinas Institute. 
It was conceived by the late Big Chief Donald Harrison Sr. along
with his wife, Herreast J. Harrison. The institute formally
was established in 2006 to promote literacy and positively perpetuate
community-based cultural arts traditions, especially those relating to the Mardi Gras Indians.
The Newcomb College Center for Research on Women and the Newcomb College Institute have been trying to help with publicity and contacts so Ms. Harrison can construct a building for the Guardians Institute.
