Triumph of the Alumna: Joy (Kessler) King Speaks to Social Studies Student Teachers


In late February, Joy King, who graduated from ONU with a BA in Social Studies Teacher Licensure in 2009, returned to campus to speak with current student teachers and majors about what the Ohio Historical Society had to offer them in the way of curricular materials.  Immediately after graduation, King taught high school Social Studies for four years before moving to Columbus.  She now works as a Creative Learning Engineer for OHS.

She brought a number of materials along with her, including a Museum in a Box, which is a box that contains a number of artifacts that deal with a specific subject such as frontier life, and other historical periods.  She also told attendees about the webinars that teachers can access from OHS.  They also have a History to Go van, and many other resources for Social Studies teachers on their website.

It was great to see Joy again and to learn how her career has evolved.  We will have her back again!

Well done Joy!
