I worked with the University of Dayton and Design Dimension, Inc. to curate a short-term exhibition about the life and work of Dayton alum and famed humorist Erma Bombeck. I utilized the Erma Bombeck Collection, her papers which were donated by her family to the university. I researched Bombeck’s life and career and curated the exhibit with university collection materials. I wrote all exhibit text and artifact labels and determined case layout. Design Dimension, Inc. designed exhibit panels.
