Last quarter, Nine Lives hosted an intergenerational storytelling event in collaboration with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) over zoom. It was here that we first heard Medill senior Joey Safchik's touching story about her friendship with Gabriella Karin, a holocaust survivor. Joey reflects on their time together, the lessons she's learned from Gabriella and the many intricate ways she has affected her life.

Episode 29: Office Hours with Brian Bouldrey by Nine Lives Team

We set up a story booth in Main Library during reading week to give students a chance to take a study break and tell us a story. Our storytellers, Grace Shin, Zoe Port and Sam Cole, talked to us about an unenjoyable office hours session, a smelly first impression and an unlucky start to 2020. We hope these stories of life before the Coronavirus outbreak bring you comfort and hope for a return to normalcy in the future.
