"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

LCOE STUDENT HARDSHIP FUND
|
| |
|
| |
The Connie L. Lurie College of Education makes funds available to support students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship that will prevent them from continuing their enrollment. Most often cited are the challenges of meeting the costs of living (transportation, rent, and other expenses) during the unpaid student teaching/ counseling requirements for becoming an educator.
|
| |
|
| |
"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!"
