Public History Students Win National AwardThe National Council on Public History has announced that UNCG's second-year History/Museum Studies students have won the 2013 Graduate Student Project Award for their work on the exhibition "Past the Pipes: Stories of the Terra Cotta Community," which opened in December at the Terra Cotta Museum in Greensboro. One such award is given annually. The designation recognizes the students' work in building community partnerships, recording oral interviews, designing and facilitating public programs, gathering images and artifacts, writing exhibition text, creating media pieces and interactives, and installing the exhibition. Students Ellen Kuhn, Shawna Prather, and Ashley Wyatt will travel to Ottawa, Canada to be recognized at the awards luncheon of NCPH's annual conference, held April 17-20.
