UMBC 40th Anniversary Online Timeline
As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, UMBC wanted to create an online timeline that chronicled the institution’s history and provided a vehicle for inviting constituents to share their memories and reflections.
Project Scope
  • Creative concepting
  • Development
    of narrative outline
  • Identification and selection
    of timeline entries
  • Photography and video
    review and selection
  • Content development
    and copy editing
  • Project management


In a particularly forward-thinking approach, the university also wanted to develop a format that would allow for regular updates to keep the timeline relevant and serve as a basis for its 50th anniversary. Yearbooks, student newspapers, alumni, faculty and staff memorabilia, and photography and video archives served as the basis for the core information contained in the timeline. This “living” vehicle also serves as a repository for the university’s latest achievements and highlights.
