�鶹ӰԺ

Videos show Thursday's storm and the damage it caused to the May 4 Memorial. 

Strong storms caused damage across the �鶹ӰԺ Campus on Thursday night. 

After a national search, Alison Caplan has been selected as the new director of �鶹ӰԺ’s May 4 Visitors Center, a museum that tells the story of the shootings at �鶹ӰԺ State on May 4, 1970, set in the context of the 1960s.

�鶹ӰԺ is building on the legacy of May 4, 1970, and the mission of its School of Peace and Conflict Studies, when it joins forces with the University of Rwanda in July to help advance peace education across the globe. 

A literature professor from Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea, is wrapping up a year as a visiting scholar at �鶹ӰԺ with hopes of creating an exchange program between the two schools based on their historic campus tragedies. 

Before he leaves the �鶹ӰԺ Campus at the end of June, Yeonmin Kim, Ph.D., ’13, hopes to have plans in place for a continued exchange of students between the two universities, to further the understanding and legacies of May 4, 1970, at �鶹ӰԺ State and May 18, 1980, at Chonnam.

A visiting documentary star (and Elvis fan) received a very special welcome at �鶹ӰԺ State.

The �鶹ӰԺ State Community came together for the 53rd Commemoration of May 4, 1970. 

As someone who studied higher education administration, �鶹ӰԺ Assistant Professor Erica Eckert, Ph.D., had always wondered what it would have been like to experience the May 4, 1970, �鶹ӰԺ State shootings as a student affairs administrator. 

The lecture series created in 2022 to honor the legacy of �鶹ӰԺ Professor Emeritus of Sociology Jerry M. Lewis, Ph.D., will feature �鶹ӰԺ State Assistant Professor of Higher Education Administration Erica Eckert, Ph.D., as this year’s selected speaker.
