May 23, 2025Road Trip To Yale

On Saturday, April 5, Professors Sarah Koenig and Stephen Rice traveled with a group of students to New Haven, Connecticut to visit several museums on the Yale University campus. The group included members of the History Club as well as students in Professor Koenig’s American West class and Professor Rice’s Museums in America and Honors Studies in Arts and Humanities classes. Highlights were a tour of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library and visits to the Yale Peabody Museum and the Yale University Art Gallery. Everyone had a chance, too, to sample New Haven’s great food options and take in other sites around campus. Thank you goes to Dean Susan Hangen for providing Platinum Funding for the bus. It was a soggy spring day and lots of fun, and we look forward to more trips like this in the future. Pictured here are the students gathered in front of the Beinecke Library.

February 28, 2025Congratulations to Hannah Steinlauf!

Congratulations to third year senior Hannah Steinlauf (’25) with a major in History and a minor in Museum and Exhibition Studies who has just committed to Trinity College Dublin for a master’s in Public History and Cultural Heritage. While choosing between multiple graduate acceptances, Hannah picked Trinity because it gave her the opportunity to focus on museum accessibility in the very country she studied abroad in in Fall 2023. Her undergraduate internship with Wayne Museum and work with the Jane Addams Papers Project has inspired her passion for the importance of the digital humanities and making history and museums accessible, which she intends to pursue in her postgraduate studies.

February 27, 2025Congratulations to Elly Raisch!

Congratulations to Senior International Studies major Elly Raisch (‘25) who was accepted to Simmons University’s graduate program for Library and Information Science. Elly initially became interested in library work through her experiences working at Ramapo’s Center for Reading and Writing and the Digital Humanities Center’s Penny Colman Project. These opportunities helped foster her passion for service and information organization, leading her to pursue a path towards public librarianship in the hopes of supporting free access to media and public resources.
