HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY JOHN M. VOHLIDKA, Ph.D., Program Director FACULTY: Professors: Suzanne Richard, Jeffrey H. Bloodworth. Associate Professors: Carolyn Baugh, John M. Vohlidka. Assistant Teaching Professors: Peter Agresti, Alexandra Holbrook. ADJUNCT FACULTY: A. Tiggy McLaughlin, Nora Schillinger Mission Statement Historians treat the past as a foreign place that can unlock the mysteries of the present and the future. Thinking like a historian will help you understand how attention to change, context, and contingency is critical to understanding the ethical and political dilemmas of the past, present, and future. These skills provide a foundation for careers in law, medicine, education, business, and public policy. The Gannon University department of history and archaeology seeks to inculcate its students with this “historical thinking” and a global vision that equips students with skills for a diverse and increasingly interconnected world. Vision Statement Our vision is to become an integral part of Gannon University’s humanities division that is known regionally for providing excellent classroom instruction, innovative programs, and producing cutting edge historical research. We strive to accomplish our vision by embracing rigorous academic inquiry with a constant awareness that a focus on students is vital to our program’s success. Aims and Objectives We must probe the past if we are to understand the problems of the present as well as the identity of humankind. Without history, we have no knowledge of who we are or how we came to be; we are like victims of collective amnesia groping in the dark for our identity.
