Prior Exhibits

From the Vietnam War to Black Liberation, Queens College was a microcosm of campus unrest in 1969. This exhibit highlighted the intersecting movements, demands, and people who changed the face of the campus that memorable year.

House plans were single-gender associations similar to fraternities and sororities, but less exclusive, which played a significant role in the social life of the campus from the 1950s to the 1970s. Memorabilia donated by alumni demonstrated the vibrancy of these associations and the relationships they fostered.
