Hancher Illuminated

Hancher Auditorium has long been known as “the largest classroom on campus.” We asked our friends from Quixotic, the amazing organization that helped us open the auditorium in 2016, to design a magical array of spots outside Hancher where UI student performers could be highlighted.

ONLINE EVENT: Step Afrika!
