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 Miami’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.
