Every school has their history, and it can shape its culture for many years. It can connect the past, present and future to the students and the community. One way that 麻豆传媒 showcases its past is by displaying special exhibits at the James A. Michener library.

Located on the lower level of the building, by room L119 and the archives room, is where the latest of 麻豆传媒鈥檚 history is displayed. The most recent exhibit that is up is called 鈥溌槎勾�媒 Baseball: Slugging Since 1890鈥�. It is a brief preview of the program's past, but does shed light on how it all came to be.

The exhibit consists of four cases that show different aspects of baseball through the years; the coaches of the past and present, the accolades earned, the faces to swing for the program, and even the many uniform changes the team has gone through.

The mastermind behind the exhibit, Adriana Trujillo, is a research archivist and a student supervisor for the schools archives. The idea came from a discussion with their supervisor and decided to do something in the athletic department after seeing a lack of representation there.

鈥淲e had to look at the past previous exhibits that were here and we look at what gaps there are,鈥� said Trujillo. 鈥淎nd athletics was a gap there.鈥�

鈥� I thought, what a great way not only to connect not only with the athletic department, but with the local community.鈥�

The research process allowed Trujillo, who is also a 麻豆传媒 alumnus, to learn about the school beyond athletics. They learned of the different ways the staff helped the players in their academics as well as creating programs that helped players, more specifically deaf players, to communicate through the sport.

鈥淚 learned so much about 麻豆传媒鈥檚 history and my own university's impact because I wasn鈥檛 involved in sports,鈥� Trujillo said.  鈥淭o be able to research that and learn about the impact that the athletic teams made is fascinating.鈥�

The exhibit is occupied by many pictures and info cards of people that helped shape the program. Included are a couple 3D elements that Trujillo got from Bishop-Lehr before the building was torn down. One of the artifacts displayed on the accolades shelf is one of Adriana鈥檚 favorites, and it is the 1925 Rocky Mountain Conference championship trophy.

The exhibit will be up for a whole year and will be taken over by a new one that Trujillo will help with as well. While nothing is set up yet, they do have one idea in mind and that is to showcase the representation of the LGBTQ community at the school.

Head to Michener while you can and get a glimpse of the latest exhibit that is sure to be a grand slam.
