  Discovery Challenge: Fiesta Edition

  Grajeda developed a project to create a scavenger hunt event linking ScoutSA and Fiesta, which he called the Discovery Challenge: Fiesta Edition. It encouraged Fiestagoers, and individuals who don’t typically attend Fiesta events, to explore their favorite events and seek out the Scout SA Discovery Challenge marker. This project allowed the Office of Historic Preservation to engage with a population of San Antonians who traditionally attend Fiesta events, while also encouraging others who don’t usually go. Historic context and information about these events where provided as clues to find the Scout SA marker. Grajeda developed a logo, promotional materials, and the concept for this event, promoting engagement with the OHP at sites like Oyster Bake and Woodlawn Lake’s Earth Day.

  The Rise and Fall of the St. Mary’s University Football Program

  This project explores the St. Mary’s University football program from its origins in 1909 until its final termination in 1941. Through Rattler Newspapers archives, letters from the University to the Provincial House, and photographs courtesy of the National Archives of the Marianist Province of the United States, this project will bring together for the first time this information for public viewing.

  St. Mary's Student Life Through the Rattler

  The aim of this digital exhibit is to provide context of student life at St. Mary’s. With the use of the Rattler archives as my primary source material, I found that what students care about hasn’t changed much. How students express themselves and their pastimes has changed, but many of the same issues such as campus safety and social justice have remained the same across generations.
