Program Description
The U & You project seeks to build a longitudinal collection of students' academic and social growth. The project consists of two parts:
- Interviews with students, that are transcribed and assigned metadata for relevant recall.
- Development of a website to access the stories, by searching for metadata on the participant
The U & You project is producing original documents (interviews) in the form of local oral histories and experimenting with an entirely new "collection" that is social in origin, and special in the access it provides to the personal experiences of the U's student population
