Presentation: 1:30 pm

Exhibit Unveiling: 2 pm

Join us at the Center for the History of Psychology at The University of
Akron as we unveil a new exhibit entitled ‘Sacred Spaces’ featuring five
architectural models of places of worship. The June 15th opening will begin
at 1:30pm with a 20 minute introduction by  architect Suzanne Morgan and
the unveiling of the exhibit at 2:00 pm. A reception with light
refreshments will follow. This event is FREE and open to the public. The
Sacred Spaces exhibit will be on display through August 24, 2013.

After 9/11, Ms. Morgan decided to find a way to bring people together to
learn about other faith traditions in a safe and peaceful way. As an
architect, the focus was through architecture. This collection was a part
of what came out of that effort and the 5 congregations that are
represented in this exhibit by their sacred spaces. Ms. Morgan will provide
a brief overview to contextualize each congregation with their structures
and traditions, and to give some background into the decision to use
architecture as a vehicle for interreligious understanding.

Suzanne Morgan, studied architecture at the Illinois Institute of
Technology in Chicago and holds a certificate in liturgical design from
Chicago’s Catholic Theological Union. Morgan is also a graduate of the
University of Wisconsin and possesses an MBA degree from the University of
Chicago. She has served on the boards of more than a dozen civic
organizations and foundations across the country, and has held positions
with several architectural firms over the course of her career including
Loebl, Schlossman, Bennett and Dart and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in
Chicago. Suzanne brings deep commitment and wide experience, spanning four
decades in the fields of architecture and religious practice, to her
mission of promoting greater interreligious appreciation and understanding.

The Center for the History of Psychology (CHP) at The University of Akron
is home to a new multidisciplinary institute devoted to understanding
historical and contemporary issues in the human sciences. The new Institute
for Human Science and Culture (IHSC) will promote education and research in
the history, preservation, documentation and interpretation of the human
experience. The IHSC will also incorporate educational programs and
courses, special collections, exhibits and research that explore the
meaning of the human experience from multiple perspectives — psychological,
anthropological, artistic and historical.

The CHP is located at 73 College Street, on the corner of College and Mill
streets. Gallery visits are free and open to the public Mon-Fri, 10am – 4pm
