LAFAYETTE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

As part of this year’s Francophone Heritage Month, student-curator, Ingrid Warren, created a poster exhibit, which is on display for the Spring 2011 semester in the Language Resource Center. Working with Diane Shaw, College archivist, Ingrid chose images and text from a number of primary source materials found in the Lafayette’s Special Collections. The Vernissage was held in April.
