Title Iii Blog - 2019 Aha Annual Meeting, Thomas Gubbels
Title III Professional Development Reports
My Title III trip to the 2019 AHA Conference was a successful one. I was able to provide and receive feedback on undergraduate teaching from my professional peers. I also learned several new approaches to history that I plan to slowly integrate into the courses that I teach at Lincoln University. It was a valuable experience to attend this conference, and I may seek additional Title III funding to attend future conferences so I can continue to participate in the Association's teaching workshops.

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Amongst the Civil War community here at Gettysburg College, the movie Gettysburg is very much a part of our daily lives. Quotes are thrown back and forth in witty banter, the music is played for dramatic effect, and history professors are badgered to show clips in class.

Although none of the Fellows attended, it got a lot of us …
