Campus
A campus as diverse as PSH
can be a little confusing. New
faces could fit any category:
administrator, faculty, staff or
student. There are certainly no
traditional age boundaries. So,
The Capital Times wants to
introduce some of the new faces
on campus. This issue we intro
duce several new faculty mem
bers.
Dr. George
Boudreau, assistant
professor of
American studies
and history, earned
his doctorate from
Indiana University
in 1998. Boudrea is
an expert in early American history and
public history. He has directed public
education programs for students and
summer workshops for teachers in inner
city Philadelphia. Boudreau taught at
Temple University, West Chester
University and the University of
Pennsylvania.
