Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Revolutionizing Approaches to Campus History - Campus Archaeology's Role in Telling Their Institutions' Stories" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
A main tenet of the Michigan State University (MSU) Campus Archaeology Program is communicating our research to the larger MSU community and surrounding area. Since the inception of the program that began from an archaeological field school on MSU’s campus in 2005, we have utilized many different methods of public outreach. This paper will discuss how we have translated our most recent research projects into outreach opportunities including food recreation events, virtual exhibits of 3D artifact models, social media strategies, and the creation of new activities designed for outreach events.
