Jessica Henson- focused on hobo culture and partnerships with existing organizations on Campus:
- Box city and hobo signs
- Oneonta Story Corps podcasts with alumni
- Recycled material event (similiar to "Peeps Show") such as outfits
- Election- different listings of political platforms next to cartoons (and include info on registering to vote for college students)
- Poverty- work with Habitat Humanity and Office for Civic Engagement to feature events and info
- War- focus on 2 ways of looking at issue- patriotism and impact
- Economy- connecting Depression era to lecture series about debt today for college students (debt and loan management and budgeting)
- Environment- tracing technology development and how it has impacted us today (implement a program with Hawk Circle on the environment)
Connect with other groups about events happening on Campus (such as debates in the Museum).
Anna Thompson-focus on radio because it was a big part of life in the 20s and 30s. Make the experience immersive so people can see it, rather than read it.- Set up a radio and sitting area at front of museum, so visitors can listen to shows. There would be a guide available explaining the significance. Also, period literature would be available for people to examine
- Set up study for visitors to interact in. Feature area at desk where visitors to share their feedback on the exhibit (feelings, etc)
- Possibly build in areas in the desk to feature memories and info (look into the past)
Amanda DeMarco- museum interactives in exhibit, focusing on Uncle Sam.
- Interactive would focus on how images have changed over time
- Activity to draw your own political cartoon (could be a great way to tie in political issues going on at Hartwick)
