Time	Event
Library 8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. Special Collections 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.	Exhibits in Musselman Library and Special Collections & College Archives Musselman Library Enjoy a variety of exhibits on display. Special Collections and College Archives Exhibits Special Collections Reading Room (4th floor) Three exhibits on display in the Special Collections: Women’s Travel, “Over a Continent or Through Life” Curated by Camryn Counsil, Class of 2025 We are fascinated by travel: its excitement, its rewards, and even its risks. Experiencing the world can reaffirm beliefs, but it can also challenge them. Travel literature is a conversation about an evolving world. Historically, these stories have been written by men. Women’s accounts in this exhibit provide alternative perspectives on these global interactions. Women travel for pleasure, work, or living abroad. All the while, they engage with cultures, people, and politics different from their own. Ultimately, these women writers describe both their journeys across continents and through life. Gettysburgiana: Books by College Authors 1995-today Curated by Carolyn Sautter, Director of Special Collections and College Archives This exhibit highlights works written by faculty, staff, alumni, and students published from 1995 to the present. From Taiwanese cinema to Battlefield commemorations, these titles showcase a wide variety of recent academic research and creative writing. Included are books illustrated with photographs and artifacts from Special Collections. One or two are based on manuscript collections in our care. Bowling! Get Off Your Seat and On Your Feet Curated by Amy Lucadamo, Class of 2000, College Archivist A display showing 97 years of bowling on campus.
