Members from the community came to the Rotunda in the Morris Library to see the work that SIU photojournalism students made at the Weekend Workshop Aug. 24, 2024 in Carbondale, Illinois. The students worked together to produce a body of work that told unique stories about the community of Cobden and Alto Pass in April 12th through 14th, 2024.
In addition to community members and students, visiting professionals returned to speak and support the students at the event. Photojournalist Justin Cook engaged with the students in a panel discussion, asking the students their specific experiences at the workshop.
