Department of History
Seek to understand the past.
To ignore the past is dangerous. We learn and grow from understanding the past. We progress as a society by avoiding past failures. We must embrace history—the good and the bad—to make a difference in the future.

A Great Connection
“I was able to build a great connection with Professor Downs. We always had great conversations about the class material, and instead of a lecture, most of the time it was just back-and-forth discussions on topics. It was a wonderful experience and helped me gain confidence at a new university.”
Brody Taylor, B.A., B.S.Ed. ’23
