Viewing hours and closing ceremony information

The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt is displayed for a second time on Albion College's Campus, March 29 through April 1.  As with its 1995 visit to the College, the Quilt comes through the efforts of numerous individuals on campus who worked to bring it -- and its important message -- to the community.

 

 

 

 


The Albion College Art Club created a panel, which will be officially added to the Quilt on April 1.

"The number of volunteers we had, as a proportion of our student body, was pretty impressive," said student organizer Rachel Lippert (second from left). "It was amazing to see that the people of Albion—in the community and on campus—want to help out in any way we can. We are inspired to give back through volunteering—and we have fun doing it."

Albion College Trustee Bill Stoffer, '74, was one of many people who spoke at the display's opening ceremony on March 30.  "I remember the first time the Quilt came to Albion, when I went to see it I saw the names of people I had gone to high school with," he recalled.  "The Quilt reminds us that none of us is far away from this disease."
