Alumni Exhibitor Spotlight:
Thomas E. Franklin
One image. A defining moment. A career in visual storytelling.

Thomas E. Franklin ’88 (Visual Arts) is a photojournalist best known for his iconic photograph of three firefighters raising the American flag at Ground Zero on Sept. 11, 2001—an image that became a symbol of resilience and was later featured on a U.S. postage stamp. A finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize, his work has appeared in major publications and is held in the permanent collections of institutions including the Library of Congress and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Meet Tom at the Alumni Showcase, where he will present a cross-section of photographs from across his career.

Just four exhibitor spots remain!

We’re looking for alumni with stories to tell—creative journeys that span disciplines, industries, and experiences.

The Alumni Showcase on May 2 during AW26 brings together artists, entrepreneurs, writers, filmmakers, and professionals of all kinds—because at Purchase, creativity doesn’t belong to just one path.

If your work reflects where you’ve been and where you’re going, we’d love to consider you.

Exhibition space is free, but nearly full. Don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
