Join us TONIGHT from 5:00-7:30 PM for the opening reception of the RIT Archives Photo Alum Gallery exhibit, "Contact; The World I'm Privileged to See," on the first floor of Wallace Library. This year's alumni, Lynn Johnson (Photojournalism BFA, 75), is a long-time National Geographic photographer and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist. The exhibit features digitized reproductions from her collection at the Ohio University Archives, and invites viewers to think about the research, care, and connections formed throughout the photojournalistic process.

The reception will include a conversation with Lynn Johnson and Student Curator Autumn Bernava (Photojournalism BFA, '27), followed by Q&A. Light refreshments will be provided.
