Our team at the Office of Alumni Relations commemorated this monumentous event with an exclusive exhibit for the Class of 1974 throughout the entirety of Alumni Weekend 2024.

Including iconic events and incorporating the stories of alums, I compiled images and copy from yearbooks, papers, and interviews into eleven large panels focused on different aspects of the undergraduate experience in 1970-1974, from sports to dorm life to political activism in the Baltimore community.

The exhibit's location was positioned in a corner of Q Level in JHU's Milton S. Eisenhower Library. I created a basic replica of the level to envision the possible layout of the temporary setup.

With my designs completed in only a few weeks in time for Alumni Weekend, the team successfully assembled the designs and the alumni memorabilia to share with alums, students, staff, and other visitors to JHU's main library. Exclusive invitations were made and delivered to alumni from the Class of 1974.

It was very exciting to see alumni visit and come across this exhibit! It felt like an extremely unique experience in that I had the opportunity to see my work come to life and directly watch the impact of my designs over the weekend. This work also allowed me a deeper understanding of the college experience at Johns Hopkins and in Baltimore back in the 1970s.
