Exploring History Through Experience!
OCTC students brought the Salem Witch Trials to life through a powerful research exhibition.

Led by History Professor Matt Alschbach, with contributions from Dr. Micah Perkins’ and Abbi Ruppert’s classes, this project highlights how learning can go beyond the classroom—connecting history, culture, and community.

Career Services was proud to support this experiential learning opportunity (ELO) by helping fund display materials that showcase student creativity and critical thinking.
