AN EXHIBIT TO SHOWCASE UMASS WORKERS AND THEIR STORIES
This exhibit highlights three unique projects - UMass Frontline Worker Stories, Our Immigrant Voices and Showcasing UMass Worker Artists - giving viewers an opportunity to see how worker stories can be creatively shared with a broad audience. The examples on display are presented in conjunction with the Sunday morning workshop, “Building Community through Worker Stories.”

UMASS FRONTLINE WORKER STORIES
Since 2015, undergraduate students in Professor Ellen Pader’s class have interviewed UMass frontline workers, putting their narratives into print, and designing posters that highlight the workers and the stories they choose to tell about themselves.
