: The IIT Campus and Chicago’s South Side (University of Minnesota Press, 2024), was co-edited by professor Michelangelo Sabatino and professor emeritus Kevin Harrington. Specially designed vitrines filled with Armour Institute / IIT, Bronzeville, and Chicago memorabilia metaphorically transform IIT’s Mies Society Gallery into a “living room,” a place for conversations and discoveries to occur. The memorabilia—ranging from historic postcards to student yearbooks—tell the story of people and places in and around Bronzeville. An exhibition website provides a digital platform that expands access to materials featured in the exhibition and book. The website will also host a film by South Side filmmaker Carlos Javier Ortiz [Brown Planet Productions] and Murmur Ring that examines the layered history of IIT’s campus through contemporary voices.

Location: , West Lobby

Visit The Bog, a cool, subterranean on-campus hangout spot that has been a popular gathering space for students since 1962! Enjoy bowling, video games, billiards and more.
