When the Clock Stopped:

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the magnitude 6.7 earthquake that struck Northridge on January 17, 1994. This exhibition commemorates this tragic event and its impact on California State University, Northridge – focusing on the various community members who came together in an extraordinary campus recovery effort. Photographs, archival materials, and memorabilia document the aftermath and illuminate the creative ways the CSUN community came together to resume classes and repair the destruction. The exhibition reflects on the past and celebrates the indomitable spirit that defines CSUN. With time, CSUN students, faculty, and staff recovered, reimagined, and rebuilt.
