Next Tuesday, July 16th from 1-3pm Music & Social Identity Immersive Research Internship Experience (IRIE) students are holding an open house for the exhibit they have curated, “Voices of the Counterculture.” IRIE students curated the exhibit using archival materials from the University Archives in the Hornbake Library and the Special Collections in Performing Arts in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library. Open House visitors will have the opportunity to speak with the curators about their research, explore the exhibit, and see additional archival material from both the Special Collections in Performing Arts and University Archives. We are so excited for MSI IRIE students to share their research, and are grateful to @mspal.umd, @umd_archives, and @hornbakelibrary for their support!
