Students in Professor Gérard Chouin's Fall 2014 HIST 282 Medieval African History course were tasked with dividing into groups and developing original posters illustrating the theme "Medieval Africa in History." The posters were designed with an aim to attract the attention of other students and generate interest and curiosity, while keeping a well-documented academic approach. 

Students developed posters with the following themes:

• The Effects of Trade within the Central Sahel - Allyshia Harr, Kellie Strand, Christopher Philibert, Ashoka Rao, and Juliet Waters.
• Indian Ocean - Jacob Bradshaw, Michael Brightly, Blake Cooksey, Ryan Gousse, and Kyle Johnson.
• Medieval West African History Through Art - Ariel Copeland, Shelby Eichstedt, Clara Hoch, Zachary McPeak, and James Renton.
• The Collapse of Aksum - Meghan Downey, Samuel Mancuso, Tierney Mays, Rose Olwell, and Richard Uhrig.
• Purpose and Repurpose: The Effects of Abrahamic Religion on African Architecture - Christian Chisolm, Robert Edmonson, Collin Henson, Sutton MacQueen, and Thomas Vaughn.
• Across the Sea of Sand: From Sijilmassa to Gao - Luke Frerichs, Stephanie Lauterbach, Eun-Young Heo, Alana Toabe, Jerrel Ledbetter, and Joshua Zimmt.
