An owl carving in Walter Library.

How do the spaces we inhabit influence our stories and lives? In this story slam — UMN students and alumni — share and explore the impact of architecture, design and the environment on us. Join us for a live taping of the Radio K Real College Podcast on Thursday, November 16 from 7:30 to 9:30 in the beautiful Upson Room (room 102) in Walter Library.

Walter Library is 100 years old and this event is part of a celebration of the history of the “new” library as it was called. We are working to raise awareness of the importance of the University Libraries to campus.

Real College Podcast, from Radio K (KUOM) at the University of Minnesota, is a 30-ish minute podcast focusing on artistic and cultural events and trends happening in the Twin Cities and told through first-person storytelling and reporting and delivered instantly through any internet connection anywhere.
