At the opening reception for In Search of Memories: Exploring the Archival Gaps between Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, participants enjoyed food, drinks, and music. The interactive photography exhibition focused on memory, archives, and the power of stories. Past and present UM-Flint community members were invited to share their stories and help fill the gaps in the archives.
This event occurred in conjunction with the UM-Flint Intercultural Center Cookout and Open House.
