The “Hope Trunk,” which contains educational materials and memorial items from the April 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, will be on display in the Quinn Library for approximately two weeks. The library is located in the Stevenson Center and the exhibit is free and open to the public.

The traveling exhibit, which is on loan from the Oklahoma City Memorial Museum, will also be utilized in the “Terrorism and Homeland Security” class that is part of the campus’ Law Enforcement Technology program.

The trunk includes artifacts from the museum’s archives and has been developed to emphasize the impact of violence and its senselessness as well as the importance of personal responsibility.

The trunk has been on exhibit at schools nationwide. Many students viewing its artifacts were not alive when the Oklahoma City bombing occurred, and the exhibit helps to ensure the message of that event continue to have impact.
