This was a fun history project to work on for a new building on the Innovation Campus. The third floor of the building is the “Club Ninety-Five” space where important visiting dignitaries will learn a little more about the history and offerings of WSU. The project consisted of many hours of sifting through photos, research and writing text. The team consisted of Jay Price in history, Rachelle Meinecke in Anthropology, Hans Schrader, graduate student in Anthropology and Mary Nelson, researcher in Special Collection and of course Greteman Group, who did a fabulous job putting the photos and text together. Mary passed away before the project was complete but I think she would be pleased. If you look closely at the academic panel you will see our own Dr. Dozier and Anthropology students in the field.
