#BearsMakeHistory
This course, co-taught by History and English professors, invites students to be part of telling and shaping the history of Ursinus College through digital history projects.
The projects are now public:

Ursinus Remembers: Experience and Memory in the Face of Tragedy

What we’re doing
In this course, students collaboratively designed, pitched, constructed, and publicly disseminated digital group projects based on materials from the Ursinusiana Archive. During the semester, guest speakers shared their own experience with digital/public history and provided feedback on the students’ work in progress. Projects were launched at the end of the semester and ultimately will be part of the College’s 2019-2020 sesquicentennial celebrations.
Entrepreneurship in the Humanities
This course is part of the IMPACT curriculum supported by the U-Imagine Center for Integrative and Entrepreneurial Studies. It is co-taught by Susanna Throop (History) and Kara McShane (English).
Please visit the projects and use the hashtag #bearsmakehistory. We’d love to hear from you.
