In the past two years, students in Dr. Peter Kopp's museum studies and public history courses have collaborated with members of East High School's Museum Club (along with teacher Matt Fulford, a CU Denver alum) to catalog historical objects and curate a series of exhibits in the school's foyer. Graduate students in the Public History Program have recently won awards related to the project, presented at conferences, and— most recently— published their work in the National Council on Public History's peer-reviewed blog. The project is still underway and engages not only students from CU Denver and East High but also the high school's vast alumni network.
