It’s 2004. Uggs over low-rise jeans are trending, Janet Jackson just had a wardrobe malfunction on national television, and when you walk into Buntrock Commons, the same poster is covering the walls. This poster is huge, and when you take a closer look, you recognize the smiling face of Jimmy Carter. The poster features three people, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Jimmy Carter, and Eboo Patel, highlighting them as the plenary speakers of a forum. In loopy cursive, the top reads “Striving for Peace: Roots of Change.” It identifies the five Midwestern colleges of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America who take turns hosting the annual Nobel Peace Prize forum. The bottom of the poster features contact information of the five colleges.  Welcome to Back at St. Olaf. I’m Josie Hannah, and these are the stories from the hill. Transcript and bibliography
