2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
What is your dominant institutional narrative, and how was it formed? What’s missing from that narrative, and how can you make it more inclusive? In this workshop, Citadel archivist and TRHT director Tessa Updike will share her journey researching, building, and sharing an inclusive institutional narrative for The Citadel’s campus and community. Participants will learn about the process used to research and collect stories related to The Citadel’s relationship with slavery; the college’s first international students; the racial desegregation of the Corps of Cadets; and the experiences of women over time. Tools and research strategies will be shared along with significant discoveries from Citadel history and their impact on students and the campus community – including class presentations given to first-year undergraduate students on underrepresented Citadel history. Participants will have opportunities to engage with each other and the presenter in this informative and inspirational workshop.
