"I Needed Paris" follows nine middle school photography students from the Gordon Parks Academy in Wichita. The students reimagine how Gordon Parks photographed fashions, portraits, and street photography during his 1950-1952 tenure in Paris as a photographer in the LIFE magazine bureau. This film explores themes of educational craft, pedagogy, and ethnic studies as young students learn through photography in the streets of Paris.
Screening on April 10, 2025 in the MLK Library, RM 213 @ 1PM-3PM

LURIE COLLEGE HARDSHIP GRANT
|
| |
|
| |
What is the Hardship Fund?
The Connie L. Lurie College of Education was established to help students with emergency financial need. Thanks to the generosity of other students, staff, faculty, and the community, Lurie College is able to provide this grant to support its students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship that will prevent them from continuing their enrollment at Lurie College and SJSU.
Since July 2019, the College has processed 190 awards for a total of $91,784. The awards had been fairly evenly split between undergraduate and graduate recipients.
Recipient Testimonial
"I am very grateful to have received the Hardship Grant! Because of the funding, the cost of gas for my internship has been covered which is really helpful for me. I'm really grateful that the Hardship Grant exists because it increases the equity for students who are financially insecure. Thank you so much to the committee and donors!"
