Campus ChampionIn his second year at SUNY Cortland, Assistant Professor of History Evan Faulkenbury connects students to their world. He supervises student internships in public history, and his Introduction to Public History course sets students loose on projects in the community, where artifacts, statues, newspaper articles and interviews add nuance to what they learn in textbooks. These student projects live online at Cortland Public History, a blog managed by Evan. His recent class collected oral histories about Cortland’s 1890 House and his next group will teach us about Cortland’s Union soldier statue, located downtown in Courthouse Park. These projects give us a better understanding of history in our everyday lives.
