Images of Hope Project

Description
-
Images of Hope was a public art project organized by Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Educational Technology, Research, and Assessment, Dr. Rhonda Robinson, Media Services, Outreach, and the Office of Support and Advocacy. It was displayed during "NIU Remembers: A Day of Reflection," the one year anniversary of the February 14, 2008 shootings. All members of the university community were invited to submit photographs that they believe could address questions such as: What does recovery look like? What do you "see" when you think of hope? The concept of the exhibit, which was displayed both electronically and with prints displayed on the wall, was for visitors to find encouragement, hope and renewal.
