Peek into The Lives of Former Students in the New “Then and Now” Photo-Story Exhibit

Throughout this year, a new traveling photo-story exhibit will be moving between Salt Lake Community College’s campuses to commemorate the College’s 75th anniversary.

 

The “Then and Now” exhibit invites viewers to step into the lives of former students, who remember what it was like when they first started at SLCC—some scared, some unsure, some excited—and to then learn where they are now in their careers. 

 

Each story includes nuggets of hard-earned advice that they would now give to their younger selves, and to current and prospective SLCC students. 


"We hope that students can perhaps see themselves in some of these stories and be inspired by them as they figure out what’s next,” says Peta Owens-Liston, who collected the stories and is the Assistant Director, Public Relations. “It also shows all the different ways SLCC alumni have gone on to contribute to our communities and others’ lives.” 

 

The exhibit stories are not limited to the twelve that are displayed. “Then and Now” stories can be found on this gallery page, which will evolve as new alum stories are added to it throughout 2023 and on. The Internal Marketing and Communications Department oversaw the design and production of the exhibit.

 

If you are an alum interested in participating and completed a degree or certificate at SLCC, reach out to peta.liston@slcc.edu.
