24 Hours at SLU
06/28/2023
A lot can happen in one day. This April, Universitas attempted to capture it all.
There was nothing particularly extraordinary about Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at Saint Louis University. It wasn’t commencement day or homecoming or the first day of classes. But that very ordinariness made it perfect.
For years, the Universitas staff has wanted to share with readers all that happens in one day at Saint Louis
University — from midnight to midnight in both St. Louis and Madrid. It was a tall
order that required multiple photographers on two continents. And, of course, what
they captured just scratches the surface.
Though this photo essay captures only a few fleeting moments from a day in the University’s
life, it illustrates
the vibrance of campus and the depth of SLU’s impact. Follow the photos from the wee
hours to late night and see what a difference a day makes.
