Free Live Webinar: HBCU Curriculum Alignment Project – The Hampton University Archives Case Study - Friday, June 24, 2016, 2:00 ET Description: This webinar will describe how the introduction of collection materials into curricula by the Hampton University Archives fulfills the goals and objectives of the University by giving students access to experiential learning. The presenter will discuss how, as part of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded HBCU Preservation Project, they worked with faculty to identify areas in their classes that Archives materials could address and assisted them to integrate these materials into assignments. The Archives recognized that by incorporating physical archives visits with academic curricula the principal practicum context for learning can be achieved. Learning Outcomes: Webinar participants will gain a greater understanding of: * How to promote the value and content of collection materials to faculty and students; * How to identify curricula-relevant areas of significance of collections; * Strategies for the integration of collection materials into curricula; * Ways to address student and faculty and needs. Suggested Attendees: Museum/Gallery Directors, Archivists/Librarians, Faculty, Deans, and Provosts interested in establishing or expanding an integrative program through curriculum alignment.
