HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY JOHN M. VOHLIDKA, Ph.D., Program Director FACULTY: Professor: Suzanne Richard. Jeffrey H. Bloodworth. Associate Professors: Carolyn Baugh, John M. Vohlidka. Assistant Professor: Alexandra Holbrook. Lecturer: Peter Agresti. 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 & 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.
