Jason Steinhauer
We congratulate Jason Steinhauer (MA in Public History, 2007), who has been appointed the inaugural Director of the Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest at Villanova University. The Lepage Center will bring historical scholarship and perspective to bear on contemporary global affairs and will serve as a leading voice for greater historical consciousness among citizens, elected officials and industry leaders. Through academic programs, research, publications and events, the Lepage Center will engage the public, policymakers, scholars, teachers and students from history and other fields. Proposed initiatives include summer institutes for teachers, briefings for government officials, events for the public and conferences for scholars. The Center will also seek to utilize digital tools and new media to engage people in history in ways that matter to their lives.
