ºÚÁÏÍø

A professor from Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea, said his recent visit to ºÚÁÏÍø enabled him to experience his research into the May 4, 1970, ºÚÁÏÍø shootings in a whole new way.

This year's May 4 Commemoration remembered the fallen and recognized the spirit of activism that is part of ºÚÁÏÍø's history and the university's foundational values. 

Against the backdrop of a new generation of student activism, the ºÚÁÏÍø community gathered to reflect and remember the student protesters killed and wounded on May 4, 1970.

Commemorative landscapes and how they help produce a sense of empathy and place and foster a connection to help us learn from our past was a theme explored Friday, May 3, by ºÚÁÏÍø Professor Chris Post, Ph.D., speaker for the annual Jerry M. Lewis May 4 Lecture Series and Luncheon.

Tonight, the annual candlelight walk and vigil continues a 53-year tradition as part of this week's May 4 Commemoration.
