Notes from May Hall
Skills Modules for Intro Courses
Five faculty members (Sarah Mulhall Adelman, Joseph M. Adelman, Lori Gemeiner Bihler, Maria Alessandra Bollettino, and Stefan Papaioannou) recently published an essay in Perspectives on History about the department's online skills modules for students in introductory-level history courses.
Whittemore Library Intern
This semester, history major Nicholas Villamor is doing an internship at the Whittemore Library on campus. Check out his first blog post on the library's namesake (and former Framingham State Principal) Henry Whittemore.
Christa McAuliffe Center
History major Suzanne Wright was featured in The Gatepost, where she talks about her work as a science education coordinator at FSU's Christa McAuliffe Center and how the history program (and her work as an Irish Studies and Museum Studies minor) helped shape her career goals in museum education.
