Hampton University ki History

1868 mein newly freed African Americans ko education dene ke liye banayi gayi Hampton University ka ek garvit aur kahani-bhar itihaas hai.

Shuruwati students ne apne haathon se kai original campus structures banaye, jisme Palmer Hall bhi shaamil hai.

Pichhle 155 saalon mein, Hampton ek world-class university ban gayi hai.

Isme 90 se zyada degree programs, 30 naye buildings, aur apne endowment ko $29 million se badhkar $400 million kar diya gaya former President Dr. William R. Harvey ke 44 saal ke leadership mein.

Aaj kal Hampton mein 4,000 se zyada students aur 1,000 faculty aur staff hai. Hampton University Museum, jo 1868 mein banaya gaya tha, nation ka sabse purana African American museum hai aur isme 9,000 se zyada historical objects hain, jisme African American fine arts, traditional African, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Island, aur Asian art bhi shaamil hain.

Historic Building Suffers Major Damage

Asli mein 1882 mein banaya gaya, shuru ke dinon mein isme principal ka office, treasurer ka office aur kai classrooms the jab ise Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute kehte the.

Ye building puri tarah se Hampton ke students ne hi banaya tha aur pichhle dashakon mein kai baar renovate aur expand kiya gaya.

Aag se pehle isme Hampton University ke senior leadership ke offices the, jisme President ka Office bhi shaamil tha.Abhi tak damage ka pura extent malum nahi hai, lekin building mein zyada fire aur paani ka nuksan hua hai.
