I would also like to introduce our new research librarian for biological sciences, Angelissa Panganiban, and highlight the renaming of our Data, Publishing, and Digital Scholarship (formerly Digital Scholarship Services), which better reflects the wide variety services and expertise the department offers.

Graphic Medicine: Health Equity Through Comics and Visual Narratives

Wednesday, May 7

2:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Graphic medicine combines the principles of narrative medicine with the visual arts to share medical knowledge and illness experiences. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Graphic Medicine Manifesto, Dr. Juliet McMullin will explain how this interdisciplinary field can help shift perspectives, build community, and expand our understanding of the human journey through medicine.

After Dr. McMullin’s talk, stay for a light reception and explore the Libraries’ America Informed exhibit, which includes examples of graphics and comics in government communications.

Anteater Experience: 60th Anniversary of UC Irvine

Commemorating the 60th anniversary of UC Irvine (1965–2025), Anteater Experience traces more than six decades of campus development. Using original campus photographs and archival documents, this exhibit highlights student life, sustainability, and landscape, particularly how UCI’s layout and design, including its iconic circular shape and lush Aldrich Park, formed under the guidance of architect William Pereira. Illustrating key features and milestones that have helped shape the campus culture and environment, Anteater Experience demonstrates how the campus transformed from ranch lands into an internationally recognized research institution.
