Writing students of Dr. Alison Stachera, inspired by the current “Stamps of Hope” Syrian refugee art exhibit in the James S. Murray Gallery, are holding a “Writing for Change” event today, Nov. 12, from noon to 2 p.m. in A. Lincoln Commons. They will be sharing what they learned from the exhibit and hope to generate enough donations and T-shirt (designed by Thom Whalen) sales to purchase a piece of art from the exhibit, that they will then donate to LLCC.
“Stamps of Hope,” is a traveling art exhibit that showcases Syrian refugee artwork from the Zaa’tari Refugee Camp in Jordan. It is on display in the James S. Murray Gallery through Thursday, Nov. 14 and can be viewed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The LLCC student newspaper, The Lamp, won first place in the John M. Ryan Best of Show at the Illinois Community College Journalism Association’s fall 2019 conference at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. The award is given to the community college with the single best issue of any student newspaper.
The judge wrote: “The most editorially robust paper among the entries. This paper provides readers with an appropriate mix of hard news, features, photography and sports. The writing and editing are strong, allowing reporters to breathe life into stories while staying true to journalistic standards. The papers designers provide a solid mix of traditional presentation and looser, more inviting and provocative publications. A quality publication in all aspects.”
