Campus Tour 1982

Films clips from the 1982 production "Illinois Benedictine College Campus Tour"

In the summer of 1982, a group of Illinois Benedictine College students from Joan Hopkins' freshman advising group and French classes helped me produce a video of tour of the IBC campus as an orientation tool for new students. It was definitely an amateur production. You'll notice that soundtrack isn't always in sync and that the video freeze look even worse in a digitized format. Nevertheless, we hope you will enjoy this little glimpse of our Benedictine University history.
