Reaching Out to Students – For the Record

This past spring, Jay and Meg worked with colleagues in the North Carolina Collection to curate an exhibit titled From Di-Phis to Loreleis: 150 Years of Student Organizations at UNC.

Order of the Gimghoul Banquet, 1950s — A photograph of a banquet held by the Order of the Ghimghoul featured in the exhibit.

Chapel Hill Revolutionary Movement Flier — A flier featured in the exhibit.

The exhibit provided us with a great opportunity to reach out to student organizations and groups interested in preserving their piece of Carolina history. In April we held Students Make it Last Longer, an event to promote the exhibit and increase student interest in the Archives.

We are proud to say that the event was a success! Many students came to look at the exhibit, have a snack, chat with us, and learn more about donating their student organization records to the Archives. Here are some photos that Jay and Meg took at the event–
