The NU Libraries Celebrate Diversity
As part of NU Diversity Week, Northeastern Universities Libraries has mounted a display exhibiting the various diversity resources the Library has to offer. The display is located in the case next to the elevators on the first floor of Snell Library. To learn more about diversity, check out some of the films, music, books, and other resources in Northeastern’s collection.

Diversity Week celebrates and explores our community’s diversity in a range of media and contexts, including speakers and events that touch upon significant issues and questions of today.
This exhibit was organized by Christine Oka, Emily Sabo, Natalie Schack, Marita Spooner, Nick Grassia, Erin Leonard, Anthony Savvides, Damon Griffin, Nnamdi Oghedo, and John Ainsworth.

Judeo-Christian Relations: An Historical Approach
March 17-30, 2009
This exhibit, to the right of the first floor entranceway in Snell Library, surveys historical themes in Judeo-Christian relations. The three sections of the display—Early History, World War II and Shoah, and Contemporary Voices, were designed to reflect the evolution of this abrasive, problematic relationship, from its earliest times, through the Holocaust, and into the modern era of discourse and hope.
This exhibit was curated by Christina Braidotti of the Holocaust Awareness Committee, with assistance from Debra Mandel, Emily Sabo, Regina Braidotti, Brian Greene and Debbie Pennino.
The NU Libraries also invite the campus to learn about our collection of Holocaust Survivor Testimonies, excerpts of which were shown at the President's Holocaust Memorial Breakfast by Ann Grenell.
