St. Lawrence History Program Alumni, on the St. Lawrence History Program

''My academic career encouraged a natural curiosity about people, places, destiny, philosophy, etc.  I interact with many different people and am able to converse and connect with a wide range of human experience.  Mostly the History Department and its professors (Culpepper, Carlisle) and their personal interest in me fostered a confidence to strive at attaining excellence and mastery in all that I do.''
''It gave me baseline writing and logic skills, which have proved valuable in analyzing and presenting business propositions.  Further, it afforded me a perspective into various cultures which proves useful when working with people from other areas of the world.''
''I was very prepared for graduate studies (i.e., as well prepared as friends from Stanford, Yale, Amherst, Harvard and Duke) because the St. Lawrence History program taught me to handle ideas -- to think critically, write cogently, and speak clearly.  The beauty and genius of the history major is its applied versatility throughout a progression of career opportunities.''
''Foremost, my history courses at SLU taught me how to think.  I refined my writing and research skills, which I use in my job every day.  History at SLU taught me how to become excited about ideas, pushing me to dig a little deeper in everything that I do.''
'''Reading history' taught me to absorb a lot of detail in a little time.  While I did not find law school easy, it was less of a struggle for me than some of my classmates who were overwhelmed with the volume of reading in the first year.  History also provided perspective, on people and their cultures, which I believe makes me a more effective lawyer.  My practice has always involved dealing with regulatory agencies, and the lessons of history (the origin of the agency, its mission, the history/background of a particular law or regulation) provides added insight to how you might accomplish something, or achieve a particular result, for your client.  Although one could say it is a by-product of a liberal arts education generally, not just a history major, I also think being interested in what is happening in the world, and being able to put it into context, makes you a 'good interview' -- so essential to getting the job!''

Client Services Manager

''As a history major at St. Lawrence University, I enrolled in many labor relations courses which focused on the history of the United States’ organized labor movement, including the study of collective bargaining and arbitration proceedings.  My current position as an Account Manager with a health maintenance organization requires that I work with large employer groups, many which have Union employees that actively negotiate their health insurance benefits.   My history degree furnished me with a unique understanding of the strategic issues confronting workers and their unions, and has therefore allowed me to successfully work with employer groups that have Union representation.  I credit my St. Lawrence University history major for granting me with a broad-based comprehension of labor history, and providing me with the analytical skills to understand the larger, theoretical issues confronting workers and employers in the twenty first century.''

Charlene Bangs Bickford '66
Director, First Federal Congress Project
bickford@gwu.edu

''As director of the First Federal Congress Project (a research center in the History Department of The George Washington University) and co-editor of the Documentary History of the First Federal Congress, 1789-1791, (DHFFC) I am responsible for project administration, fundraising and grants management, institutional relationships,, working with a team on all the elements of historical editing (searching for documents, planning volumes, selection, annotation, indexing, proofreading, etc.), book production, website (www.gwu.edu/~ffcp) content, etc.  Fourteen volumes of the DHFFC have been published during my tenure. I also teach a graduate course in historical editing for George Mason University, have taught several teacher training institutes and have served as a resident advisor/faculty member at the Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents inMadison, Wisconsin.  I have lectured widely on the First Federal Congress, been interviewed on C-SPAN, and served as the president of the Association for Documentary Editing and the Society for History in the Federal Government.

I attended SLU in the era of the History/Government degree. That combination has proved to be very valuable  in my work, which requires a strong background in the U.S. Constitution and government, along with the ability to do historical research. Prof. Reiff’s insistence that we use U.S. government documents to answer questions precisely with exact citations has stayed with me.  The outstanding lectures by Professors Bob Carlisle and Jack Culpepper,  inspired us to explore the stories of history, but it was the personalized nature of the SLU experience that was most important for me.  Professor Carlisle, who engaged us in intense discussions over coffee at the University Center, became a mentor and friend for life.  Although I have spent my life in University based research, the SLU focus upon teaching and the accessibility of the professors were essential to a first class education.

Frederick (Rick) Cleveland '94
Financial/Investment Banking

''In preparing for a career in investment banking and finance, my history degree did not teach me how to analyze the financial condition of a business.  It did not arm me with knowledge of how supply-side economic policies should unfold or with the quantitative ability to calculate a required rate of return on an investment  My history degree has actually served a much higher purpose in my career.  Studying history has taught me how to think critically.  It has taught me how to analyze the written word, how to be inquisitive, how to be curious and how to ask one of the most important questions in business:  why?  By studying history, one learns the ability to translate the significance of events and bring meaning to them.  It is surprising how many individuals do not have these skills.  In investment banking, most often seen as a highly quantitative field, the ability to think from a critical perspective and communicate effectively are essential for success.  I know these skills will be imperative to my own long-term successes and studying history has allowed me to develop them.  Most importantly for me, history was fun and engaging.  I left SLU feeling educated about the world.  I have found plenty of time after history to learn the economics of business.''

Colleen Curry '88
Curator

''History has always been important to me.  As the child of two teachers the love of history was instilled in me during summer trips that always consisted of visits to historic sites and national parks.  I knew that becoming a history major was what I wanted but I wasn't sure what I could do with it besides teach or study law.  The summer before my senior year at St. Lawrence I was fortunate to get a job as a museum aide for the curator at Gettysburg National Military Park.  It was then I disovered the museum field and knew that I could best use my history degree towards a Masters in Museum Studies (from George Washington University) and a career in museum work.  My St. Lawrence history degree provided me with in depth knowledge of various periods in history and has assisted me in obtaining museum positions at a variety of museums, such as The Hermitage (Home of Andrew Jackson), the Supreme Court of the United States, the Lehigh County Historical Society (Allentown, PA) and, currently, as curator of Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial (a National Park Service site).  The museum field enables me to use my history degree on a daily basis, making it a wonderful career path for history majors.''

Carol Fishwick '75
Academic Dean

cfishwick@covenantschool.org

''In the seven moves since I graduated, my liberal arts background and history major have opened doors in challenging and exciting ways. A perennial interest in people and places, as well as a desire to understand how we process and learn information, continually enhances my ministry in education. Upon graduation, I taught African Studies and US Government before receiving my MEd from Boston College in the Education for the Visually Impaired. After teaching and consulting in the Richmond, VA and Charleston, SC areas, I moved to Charlottesville, VA. The Covenant School, a growing private school, hired me to teach history and to create a study skills curriculum for middle school students. The history department incorporated numerous learning strategies and analytic skills into their program. I served as History Dept. Chair and Middle School Coordinator before becoming the Dean of Academics. I still love teaching one class of US History a year. This allows me to remain connected with my passions: students, learning, history.''

Alex Gray '90
Dean of Students

Agray@cardigan.org

''The History major at SLU exposed me to teaching personalities that shaped my own teaching style (Lloyd's, Carlisle's, Culpepper's, Elberty's, Leet's).  My love of books and the pleasures intertextuality can bring  were awakened at SLU. Being exposed to Achebe in Dr. Lloyd's class allowed for a more enjoyable understanding of Yeats' poem "The Second Coming".../Things fall apart; the centre cannnot hold ... and vice versa. I better understand the Achebe i read at SLU now for having read the Yeats.  In this sense, the history degree is vital.  It assists me by framing my understanding of the world. Rather than a marker of past work it seems to be organic, evolving even now.

I have to blame an interest in reading Schlesinger and Barzun, to the amazement of my wife,on the SLU History Dept.''

Glenn King '89
Assistant Attorney General

kinger@nycap.rr.com

''Law is a fluid institution and in order to fully nderstand the state of the law, one must comprehend its history.  As a double major in history and government, I was constantly being taught that in order to understand why a government would choose acertain course of action, one had to understand the cirrcumstances that existed at that time.  In turn, in order to understand the circumstances that exist in any given moment of time requires a review and analysis of the history preceding that period.  The field of law is similar in that it constantly changes to suit changing times and circumstances and to understand why a law exists or why it was changed requires a comprehension of the history preceding its enactment or amendment.  Thus, the appreciation of history that I developed as a history major at St. Lawrence University has helped me more fully comprehend my chosen profession of law.''

James McCabe '77
Collections Manager, Curator

''To be perfectly honest, I never expected to be able to pursue a career in a history-related field.  I chose to be a history major because I like history and because I felt that a grounding in history provided a good basis for doing a lot of different things.  For most of my time at St. Lawrence, I focused on European history, because of its variety. I only "discovered" the history museum fields a senior (in spite of going to history museums throughout my childhood).  I did an ndependent study with the St. Lawrence County Historical Association, made some contacts with people at the Cooperstown Graduate Program, where I met people who I have kept in touch with throughout my career.  St. Lawrence provided initial contacts and opportunities to pursue independent study. However, the most important thing that it gave me was what I wanted in the first place - a good grounding in history andhistorical method, which has provided me with a good basis for doing a lot of different things, many of them in the history museum world.''

Geoffrey Megargee '81

''Most fundamentally, a history major helped me to hone my ability to work through a problem and communicate my findings.  In all my professional positions – as an army officer, in business, and as a researcher, analyst and writer –  those skills have been absolutely essential to my success.  Seemingly mundane tasks such as taking notes, gleaning information from textbooks, and writing essays and term papers were thus all invaluable parts of my professional development.
      Beyond that, the history major was the first step toward a career as a professional historian.  Of course, few of you reading this will take that path, but for me, the opportunity to carry out research, write, teach, and manage historical projects has been extremely rewarding.  History provides endless puzzles for those who like to solve them, as well as the growth that comes from constant intellectual challenge.''

Peter Rutkoff '64
Professor

rutkoff@kenyon.edu

''It's been a very long time since I sat by the Grasse River  one warm spring afternoon and thought about "history." Back then we had  to endure a very long spell of writing comprehensive exams for the history  and government departments -- you majored in one and minored in the other;  and Bob Carlisle told me, in his usual gruff-avuncular style, "Just  go and think." And so I did. And I remember even now the feeling of that  cartoon light-bulb going off--crisis accelerates change. There,  I had something. So simple, maybe even elegant. I took it with me through  graduate school, that simple insight, but it was St. Lawrence's gift to  me. But Bob and his side-kick, Dr. Abou-El-Haj, still teaching at SUNY  Binghamton, gave me something more--the examples of fine, dedicated, intellectually  inspiring teaching. And I have taken them much further down the road, some  thiry-years worth and I am greatful still that I have become a college  teacher and writer. My "field" is American Studies, and I even have tried  my hand at writing fiction--imagine my delight when Fox Sports Radio called me up about my recent novel, Shadow Ball: A Novel of Baseball and Chicago. But that calm afternoon on the river and the tutlage of two wonderful  teachers have made all the difference in my life.''

Jim Schaefer '80
Assistant Football Coach

jaschaef@upenn.edu

''History has always been a deep love of mine that has led me directly and indirectly throughout my life.  This love of History was able to flourish in my years at St. Lawrence.  It was my college years that I was able to delve fully into areas of history that particularly piqued my interests.  In doing so I learned many valuable lessons that would carry through into my career and every day life.

Through my history courses at St. Lawrence I learned the invaluable lesson of gathering information from a wide range of sources, sorting through this information and forming a concise presentation of my ideas.  This has carried through into my career as a football coach.  I am constantly analyzing our opponents through a gathering of data, sorting through this data and formalizing a game plan for my student athletes which can be used to defeat our opponents each Saturday afternoon.

At St. Lawrence I was also able to study a variety of different people and their cultures and in turn was able to expand my knowledge of the world around me.  My study of history has taught me to be open to other cultures and ideas throughout the world.  This has helped me tremendously in my career as I have found that one of my keys to success has been searching out new ideas from various sources and formulating my own mode of teaching my players how to play the game.  My travels have led me not only throughout the northeast but also to places like Arizona and Utah in search of new ideas and philosophies.

At St. Lawrence I was exposed to the theory that history repeats itself and in turn was indirectly introduced to the 'circle of life'.  My reentry into a formalized History education occurred at the University of Pennsylvania.  Here my eyes were opened to the culture of the Lakota Indians.  I began my yearly travels to South Dakota in 1993 to informally study the culture of the great warriors of the Plains.  It was also my introduction to the 'circle of life' which has tied a lot of my thoughts about history
together.

Dealing with college students whose minds are so eager to learn and expand I have spoken to the student athletes I work with about the 'circle of life' and how history repeats itself.  These theories have helped in coaching to teach student athletes how to deal with the ups and downs of a football season which in turn teaches them about the ups and downs of life.''

Thomas Slater '79
Director of Probation

patriot@midtel.net

''While a student at St. Lawrence I chose to double major, history being one of them.   Growing up, two interests exceeded all others in my life—the revolutionary period in America and criminal justice.  As a career path I chose criminal justice, progressing through several jobs including corrections officer, probation officer, researcher, policy analyst, and currently as Probation Director in Schoharie County, N.Y.   After graduating from St. Lawrence and during the course of my employment, I completed an M.A. and Ph.D. in criminal justice at SUNY Albany.  Throughout my career and academic work my training in history has provided the framework through which I have viewed the world of crime.  It is uncommon training for the criminal justice field and has served me well, often allowing me a perspective on ideas and issues that others in the field rarely have.  In addition to my duties as Probation Director, I was recently elected and am serving as President of the New York State Council of Probation Administrators.  The Council is a federation of Probation Directors from across the state looking out for the best interests of the field of probation.  What free time I have is spent on my family homestead in Central Bridge, New York, developing a heritage farm.  When complete the farm will house many rare breed animals, helping to preserve genetic diversity (my other major was biology) and save many ‘old fashioned’ farm breeds from extinction.  This project is an attempt on my part to directly translate my historical perspective into something tangible and contributory.  My academic training in history at St. Lawrence has taught me how important perspective is to any subject, career, or hobby—and in so doing, it has enriched my life.''
