Panther POV

“My major helped with everything in my career. The History and Social Science department is top notch. I was prepared more than I could have imagined, and a lot of that helped with being able to connect with my professors instead of getting lost in huge auditoriums just to get a credit. I was taught a lot to connect anything we learn about and to make it relevant to the students, and to be able to relate anything we are learning about to change in today’s society. Now ... I do this every single day and it propels all learning in my classroom.”
