Humanities Program Spotlight:
Over 50 faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends gathered in Dulles Hall for a program and reception. Speakers were Michael Hogan, president, University of Connecticut and former Dean of the Ohio State College of Humanities; John Day Tully assistant professor of History, Central Connecticut State University and founding director of the Goldberg Program; and David Staley, current director.
Several former students also offered their remembrances of Goldberg's impact on their lives. They described Professor Goldberg as a passionate educator who took a personal interest in the intellectual development of his students. Over 40 years after having studied with him, many were still moved in recounting their mentor and friend.
The Goldberg Program focuses its activities in three areas. It is an instructional center that teaches graduate students and faculty in the effective use of electronic and web-based media in the classroom while also building a large database of images, documents, and Internet documentaries that range across the various fields of history. In addition, it forms one component of the department's outreach agenda, with more than three million dollars in grant money and educational projects that now stretch across the state. Third, Goldberg also supervises the department's major pedagogical publishing endeavors: the two nationally successful custom electronic readers, Retrieving the American Past and Exploring the European Past.
"We have set our sights high for the next 10 years, expanding our commitment to effective teaching strategies and to spreading this message to history teachers across the state," said Goldberg Program Director David Staley. "We hope that all our activities honor the legacy of Professor Goldberg."
