Over the past three weeks, award-winning photojournalist John Noltner helped us document our community's story via online virtual studio sessions with a group of 50 students and staff. During each session he asked participants to reflect on the question: “What does community or belonging look like for you during this time of pandemics and protests?”  

Join us for an evening conversation tomorrow with John as he unveils a sample of this year’s portraits, shares insights on themes explored, and explains his process.

Last year, John spent a week with the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and helped us document our community's story and response to the question: "What is your responsibility to create community?" You can view images and a short video documenting last year's process here

John Noltner is the creator of "A Peace of My Mind," a multimedia installation that uses art and storytelling to engage diverse communities in the big questions of life. John's latest project is titled: “I Can Hear the Streets Talking” a collection of stories gathered from the George Floyd Memorial in the Twin Cities.
