...driven by focused enthusiasm and an interdisciplinary fascination with interpreting the intersection of history, culture, and identity. History reverberates in our daily lives, remixes our contemporary worlds, and recasts our futures. Students are multicultural, multifaceted individuals. We work together to share and exchange information via critical and creative thinking, writing and speaking in service of a student-centered learning-- cultivating a kaleidoscopic and panoramic perspective of the United States and the wider world.
