Display case presentations can center on past or present college activities. One such idea is to highlight a college department's involvement in a community project that enlists students, faculty and staff. This is one way of making the campus community and any visitors aware of the college's connection to the project and may even generate new interest and participation. Other creative display suggestions include campus pride events such as homecoming or graduation ceremonies .
Another option is to display items that are college-specific. A display illustrating the evolution in the fields of physics or anthropology is informative. Focusing on a particular faculty member and her work towards the advancement in her field is also edifying. Alternatively, a display that underscores the progression of a particular discipline that includes books, replicas, devices or artifacts, can draw attention to the display.
Creating a display that showcases college awards or trophies is particularly rewarding. Choose a particular sport or include an array of sports memorabilia in the display. Collect items from another collection providing you agree as to what will be displayed and for how long. Arrangements must be made for all donated items before displaying any alumni paraphernalia.
