SHOUT OUT to Loras College Better Together for their art display:
"I am Human" which features students, faculty, and staff from diverse religious perspectives.

I am…
“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” -Desmond Tutu

“I am Human” is designed to represent diverse religious or non-religious perspectives in a personal, human light. This is essential to the piece’s core message of tolerance and appreciative knowledge of difference. Based in Loras’ Catholic Identity statement as an institution recognizing the inherent dignity of all, this perspective stems from a commitment to “reverence the spirituality of each person.” When reflecting on the images, we are reminded that there is a person behind every identity label, stereotypes are harmful and deceptive, and central to interfaith engagement is seeing others foremost as HUMAN.S

If you're on campus, be sure to check out the new art display titled, "I am Human." This piece features students, faculty, and staff from diverse religious perspectives. Here is the display description (since it's too small to read on the picture!):
