Preserving and interpreting the stories within the cultural production of diverse communities, and connecting those stories with people is what makes history relevant today.

I find that I frequently refer back to what I learned when facing daily challenges such as how to properly store a specific artifact or how to approach another organization about a proposed partnership project.
Within the courses, there is an overall sense of community, full of shared enthusiasm, free discussion, insights and experiences in both face-to-face and online courses.
