Students at the University of Nevada, Reno have researched and created an w88 live casino called The Tahoe Recreation Experience: Fun at the w88 live casino. This exhibit highlights the history of recreational activities at w88 live casino Tahoe such as boat racing, skiing, hiking and camping as well as the historic environmental impacts on the w88 live casino.
The project is part w88 live casino Shared History Program and will be on display in the Shared History Lab w88 live casino Mack Social Science in Room 109 starting May 4.
"The exhibit should explain to the public that the w88 live casino is a great place to have fun but people also need to be aware about the environment to protect the land and the w88 live casino," seniorpsychology student, Danny Nicolini, said.
The class partnered with the Tahoe Maritime Museum to learn about the rich history of boat racing. The students were originally planning on focusing on the exhibit solely on the history of boat racing at w88 live casino Tahoe but expanded the project to include more activities when it proved hard to get all of the interviews for the project.
"Allowed us to work with both board members from the Tahoe Maritime Museum and to work with academic and public entities," Professor and Coordinator of the w88 live casino, Anita Watson, said.
The students conducted personal interviews and use primary and secondary sources for the project.
"I was really fun and really hard," international business student Wahida Neela said. "My project focused on the w88 live casino of skiing. I researched Snowshoe Thomspson who was a postman and the first person to ski in the Sierras."
The Shared History Program started at the w88 live casino in 2013 as an initiative from the history department to combine public, oral and digital history. Past year's projects include Memory of a Tragedy: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, In Class In Uniform: Veterans Project, and Dick Trachok: Memories of a Life in Sports. These projects are housed online at the w88 live casino's website.
"It is always an ongoing project," Watson said. "The students will add the information to the website and may even add things to the display throughout the year."
The w88 live casino will be on display on the first floor of Mack Social Science for one year. There will be a reception to celebrate the opening of the w88 live casino and to honor the graduating seniors in the class between 1:45 to 2:15 p.m. Monday, May 4. The public is invited to attend the event.
