'24: Then and Now

DIGITAL RESEARCH PROJECT

About the project


Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a UVM student 100 years ago? What students were doing? What they liked, what their classes were like, what campus was like? Well, you're in luck. For the next year, we're going to be telling you all about it through this digital project, '24: Then and Now.
 
We hope you'll discover alongside us that students 100 years ago really aren't that different from students right now. Not in most ways, anyway.
 
Through this project, we're going to be making some of those connections, tending to materials they left behind for us -- like exams, photos, mementos from the kinds of things they were up to. We'll look at what life as a UVM student was like in order to appreciate what it means to be a UVM student today.
