This Zoom event will be a twofer, starting with an image-heavy presentation on the art, architecture, and history of Altgeld Hall and its famous chimes, and ending with a virtual tour of the Richmond Family Welcome Gallery.
The Richmond Family Welcome Gallery at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center is a showcase for the heritage and global impact of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Featuring interactive exhibits about the past, present, and future of the University, the Welcome Gallery serves as a destination for returning alumni and other campus visitors and a gateway through which prospective students and their families can begin their Illinois experience.
