The poster features an image of a stylized orange tree, the “fruits” of which are symbols representing a multiplicity of faith traditions, with highlighted “fruits” referring to the three themes of the Spring 2019 series (an illustration of Trevor Noah, from the book cover of Born a Crime, by Trevor Noah; an illustration of the service dog from the book cover of Have Dog, Will Travel, by Stephen Kuusisto; and a plant, representing healing and wellness). The faith-based images are accompanied by alt-text with a hyperlink explaining each image. The thematic images are accompanied by alt-text for each image.
