HPJ Students Present Papers at Midwest World History Association Annual Conference




Three HPJ Social Studies majors presented their work to the Midwest World History Association Annual Conference held at Wittenberg University last weekend. 

Erin Kerger presented "Tomorrow Belongs to Me: Nazi Efforts to Brainwash the Minds of German Children Using Anti-Semtic Propaganda."

Sadie Wiley presented "Response to Nazi Policies in the American Press."

Amarilla Fair presented "The Fecal Fortune Failure."

The students were part of a panel chaired by Dr. Waters, and Dr. Crawford offered his comments on their papers.

The MWWHA is a professional conference, and the opportunity for students to present in such a setting is invaluable for their careers as students and will improve their chances for employment after ONU.  They had a true academic experience as they were peppered with questions following their presentations.  They each handled the Q&A well, and also had the chance to interact with professional historians in social settings.

Well done all!
