Alumni Spotlight
The following men and women illustrate Department Chair Dr. Kennedy’s contention that "History students receive a classic liberal arts education that can serve as a stepping stone for nearly any career, whether in education, law, government, journalism, or business."
Corey Cox
B.S. History and Philosophy '09
Cox believes his ISU experience taught him to think critically and gave him excellent oral and written communication skills which applied directly to his master’s degree coursework and interest in politics and legislation.
Tim Frank
M.S. History 94
Frank’s advice to students today is to “do what you love. If you love history, go with it. You will use the skills you learn in history. Maybe you will be a history professor, but maybe you will be an astronaut. Don’t feel like you are wasting your time; it will be useful.”
