I researched and developed the editorial framework for the “Like, Totally Transformative: CMU in the ’80s” exhibit, conducting comprehensive archival research through the Tartan student newspaper collection to help tell the narrative through student voices. I wrote the exhibit statement, artifact captions, and accompanying printed materials that contextualized CMU’s technological evolution during this pivotal decade. I managed project deadlines and content flow, ensuring timely sign-offs from stakeholders. Additionally, I created a comprehensive content marketing strategy with customized messaging across multiple social media platforms, writing and editing all outreach materials to engage diverse audiences with this technological transformation story.

“Like, Totally Transformative: CMU in the ’80s” offers visitors a window into Carnegie Mellon University’s remarkable evolution from a regional institution to a global technology and innovation leader during the 1980s. The exhibit chronicles the emergence of groundbreaking developments, including the Terregator autonomous robot, CMU’s collaboration with Steve Jobs on the Mach operating system, and the revolutionary Andrew computer network—which fundamentally reshaped campus life and positioned the university at the forefront of the digital revolution.
