This class was nothing like I’ve ever been apart of. The dynamics of the class, how it was structured, and the requirements, were all so foreign to me that it really allowed me to grow as a student, and a business major. I learned a lot about not only myself, but also how I react in certain situations. I also learned about my peers in a way I would otherwise not have. Beginning with the class dynamics, I learned how different personalities are. Being an introvert in this class was very…

Now that we are at the end of the Spring 2016 semester, it is time to reflect on the History Department’s exciting year. I don’t normally like to turn my back on people, but I wanted to model the History Student Association’s new t-shirt.

The jalapeños and hot sauce…

evidence and guesswork through paleoanthropology, and advances in the ability to look at and study DNA. Exactly where we came from and how we got to where we are today is one of the main questions scientists are trying to answer. Scientists such as Louis Leakey, Zeresenay Alemseged, and Spencer Wells, have all contributed greatly to the story of the origin of humans and how we become…
