social studies ed starts up again at alma mater

So, my undergraduate institute is starting up their social studies education program again, according to the alumni/ae newsletter I just got in the mail from the ISU History department. I was one of the last to graduate in with a certificate to teach social studies from ISU because of budget cuts (they cut the program in 2001, so I was already in the program). I’m glad to hear they’re starting it up again, and it was quite surprising to get a newsletter from the history department there. From what I remember, the department was mostly grouchy old men, but I’m glad to see that Charles Dobbs is the department chair now and that they’re staying in communication with alumni/ae.
