C85 - Bridging Generations: Exploring Freedom Summer Through an Immersive Storytelling Website
Mentor(s): Zack Tucker, MFA
Through a storytelling-focused mobile website, the team uses their Communication Design backgrounds to create an engaging, educational experience that honors the Mississippi Summer Project and empowers current students. A central aim is to spotlight the historic Freedom Summer training site on ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ’s campus—formerly the Western College for Women. Spanning multiple semesters, the project has extended far beyond the classroom, earning recognition through two Undergraduate Research Forum presentations, an Undergraduate Research Award, and a presentation at the 2024 National Civil Rights Conference in Alabama. With plans for a lasting deliverable, the team ensures that the legacy of Freedom Summer continues to inspire future generations.
