New! Watch Lizzy share The 54 Pilgrim Road Project at the Simmons University Undergraduate Symposium!
Acknowledgments
The historical photographs of and information about the Residence Campus featured in The 54 Pilgrim Road Project come from Simmons University Archives. I greatly appreciate the assistance of Jason Wood, Simmons University Archivist and Deputy Director of the University Library, and his team of archivists.

I would also like to thank Edie Bresler, Professor of Practice and Photo Lab Coordinator at Simmons. She has taught me quite a bit about photography, and contributed many ideas in the early development of The 54 Pilgrim Road Project.
To my friends and family, particularly those who proofread and reviewed the project, thank you. Your contributions and encouragements have uplifted me throughout this process.
My acknowledgments would not be complete without thanking Laura Prieto. Laura has greatly supported me during my time at Simmons, and challenged me to become a better historian. I am forever grateful for her involvement in this project.
Much love, Lizzy
