Dr. Allen Dieterich-Ward has developed an exciting approach for introducing students to Public History through the development of museum-style exhibits as part of his survey course on U.S. History until 1877. Throughout the semester, groups of students are responsible for envisioning, researching, developing and presenting an exhibit related to course themes. Students present their projects in the style of a poster session during the final week of class. These displays are judged by outside experts. The projects with the highest ranking from the judges are displayed in the Library.
This year the highest ranking projects are:
 |
| The Industrial Economy of the South [Matt Chestnut, TJ Thomas, Luke Zampelli, Jen Filer] |
 |
| New York City: The Boiling Pot [Carson Glusco, Joseph Malpas, Steph Williams, Christian Reed, Adam Seidel, Jason Walters] |
 |
| State's Rights [Andrew Castles, Faythe Grace, Caitlin Kant, Nick Sentman and Ali Moats] |
 |
| Republican Resolution [Kelly Volpi, Robert DiCarlo, Wes Ginrich, Tom Fite, Cody Ditze, Chad Jones] |
 |
| Threads of the Civil War [Mitch Dandignac, Alyssa Eaton, Zach Flaharty, Kasey Ross, Nate Reutlinger] |
