- For the fifth year in a row, the History and Communication Studies
departments propose to run classes that contain a week-long trip to
London.
This year, John Hepp's history students are
studying the History of London and have visited a diverse range of
sites from museums to department stores to Buckingham Palace.
Students who went on the trips both learned a great deal and had a good
time. Class leaders Mark Stine and John Hepp agreed with the student
assessment that the class was a great success.
Student feedback from the previous trips have helped Stine and Hepp to
plan a new class that will further highlight the intercultural
experience of the course.
Information is available now on the web (http://course.wilkes.edu/LondonMedia/About/) and a few places remain, contact either Dr. Stine or Hepp soon if you're interested.
Hepp named editor of PHA history series
(Bethlehem)
- The Council of the Pennsylvania Historical Association selected
John Hepp to be the next editor of their history series. Hepp will
replace Dr. Charlene Mires of Villanova University effective 1 January
2009.
Hepp said he was thrilled to have the opportunity to edit such an
important series. He said "Dr. Mires will be a tough act to follow and
I look forward to the challenge of maintaining the high standards that
she set."
The most recent book in the series looks at Pennsylvania as political
battleground and was written by the well-known political scientist
Terry Madonna of Franklin & Marshall University. For more
