Connors receives and completes coveted NEH fellowship

Michele Connors of Weatherly, an assistant prinicipal at Pocono Mountain West High School, participated in a Ball State University Department of History workshop for educators sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Democratization for the Automobile Industry: Construction, Culture, and Preservation taught educators during each session about the historical and cultural significance of cars and the Midwest automobile car parts industry. Cars, preservation, and class shape life in the community. Experts in the fields of preservation, history, manufacturing, and museums addressed the intersection of labor, race, and place as participants traveled to learn at historic and modern sites about the components that fill the autos used by people for work and leisure. Each participant completed a final project at the conclusion of their session.

Connors was one of 72 educators selected from a highly competitive group of applicants.
