Project Name:<\/b> Gettysburg College: A Diversity Story<\/span><\/p>\n

Project Owner:<\/b> Ivana Lopez Espinosa<\/span><\/p>\n

Project Summary: <\/b><\/p>\n

The project will be a multi-page website with description pages and four embedded timelines. The overview timeline consists of \u2018firsts at Gettysburg College\u2019 that can direct the user to one of the other timelines or more information on the person, event, or document. The other three timelines will contain <\/span>firsts<\/span><\/i> and other information specifically related to the diversity\/ inclusion of students, faculty, and administration. Criteria for diversity include, but are not limited to, gender, sexualities, race, nationality, and religion different from the traditional college campus member – a white, heterosexual Lutheran man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research Question:<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the years, Gettysburg College has focused on creating a diverse and inclusive environment by focusing on, but not limited to, student\/faculty\/administration retention rates, increasing cultural spaces, and supporting underrepresented students on campus. Gettysburg College has seen a small increase of diversity on campus in the last four years. Since the establishment of the institution, what have been significant events that contribute to the diversification and how have students\/ faculty\/ administration worked on maintaining, as well as increase, diversity at the college?<\/span><\/p>\n

Scope of Project:<\/b><\/p>\n

In the following seven weeks, I hope to have four cohesive timelines highlighting the diversity with the student body, faculty, and administration. My main objective is to create a website using the four websites with interactive timelines and pages relating to events or people I have the most information on. The timeline will link to other student works, Special Collections and College Archives, and external sites that contain information I want to display. I have a document with the location of files, pictures, and information I will reference to as the days progress. If time permits, I would be interested in creating a map with student demographics over time and cost of attending at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audience:<\/b> Gettysburg College campus community (Current\/ Prospective Students, Alumni, Faculty, Staff)<\/span><\/p>\n

Deliverables:<\/b><\/p>\n

Website, Home Page, timeline (student, faculty, administration, timeline embedded pages, mapping (time permitting), description pages (events, alumni, faculty, administration), images, documents, About page, Timeline JS skills (or other timeline tool), Omeka (for documents and images)<\/span><\/p>\n
