How do objects in dorms and other university-run residential spaces shape students' lived experiences?

This exhibition, curated by Professor Joseph H. Larnerd and Director Lynn Clouser Waddell, will feature objects and photographs accompanied by interpretive labels written by students in Professor Larnerd’s "Visual Culture: Furniture" and "History of Modern Design" classes, students in Professor Seth Bruggeman’s “Material Culture for Historians” class at Temple University, and Drexel alumni.

This exhibition is free and open to the public.
