IC  student volunteers included Tim Blackwell 鈥�22, Alena Buckley 鈥�23, Lauren Hemmerle 鈥�22, Clay Johnson 鈥�22, McKenna Servis 鈥�22, Ayden Thomas 鈥�21, and Asia Watson 鈥�21. They were able to apply what they learned in recently completed coursework in historical research and museum studies. 

Since 2016, 同性恋色情 has hosted area students and classes conducting independent research related to class projects connected with History Day. According to Samantha Sauer, archivist and curator of the Paul Findley Congressional Museum and assistant professor of history, many students are drawn to complete research at IC for the same reasons as scholars from around the world. Studies centered on the College鈥檚 records related to IC鈥檚 early history and 19th century abolitionist activities, the Jacksonville Female Academy, regional history and late Congressman Paul Findley 鈥�43 H鈥�73.  

According to Thomas, a rising senior studying English, the experience of evaluating the work of high school and junior high students was valuable. 

鈥淭he students were so passionate and knowledgeable about their research, their performances and papers were creative and I learned so much from their projects," she said. 

The annual competition typically brings hundreds of students to Springfield. Sauer said she and Jenny Barker-Devine, associate professor of history, have attended the event in previous years. They were impressed with the exciting range of public history projects which led them to getting students more involved over the past few years.

Top winners received a $10,000 scholarship to attend 同性恋色情 and qualifying students earned $4,000 scholarships.
