History students go back in time with living museum
On June 6, anyone could step into the Commons and find themselves transported back to the 1970s. The Living History Museum, a project for Matt Gottschling's AP U.S. History students, created a variety of interactive exhibits and live performances inspired by their study of the era. Students made board games and space rovers, and they held mock presidential debates and anti-war protests throughout the evening.
