Demonstrators raise their hands while chanting Hands up, dont shoot as they march across campus May 2 during a protest organized in part by the May 2 Strike Committee. During the protest, demonstrators yelled, We have a duty to fight for our freedom, we have a duty to win. The protest, which consisted of more than 100 participants, was in response to such issues as the Illinois budget impasse, student loan debt and racism at SIU. — May 2, 2016, Carbondale, Ill.

Alex Martinez, a freshman on the SIU swim team from Gilbert, Ariz., studying mechanical engineering, holds a handful of snow Jan. 20 on his way to morning practice. Martinez said it was the most snow he had ever seen. It’s more powdery than I expected, he said, and less icy. He said SIUC was appealing because of the difference in climate from his hometown and the swim team. (Morgan Timms | @morgan_timms)

Walker Suhr, 13, a seventh-grader at Brehm Preparatory School in Carbondale, prepares to be covered in red chalk during the 2016 Autism Color Fun Run/Walk on April 16 near the Lew Hartzog Track & Field Complex. Ashley Showalter, secretary for the southern Illinois chapter of the Autism Society of Illinois, which sponsored the event, said the event’s purpose was to raise awareness and money to fund families in southern Illinois who have a family member affected by autism. It’s good to raise money for people that are in need, Suhr said. This is a fun way to help them. — April 16, 2016, Carbondale, Ill. (Jacob Wiegand | @jawiegandphoto)
