YSIEN LAU (CLASS OF 2020)
Everything has a story to tell: the food on your plate, the sidewalk pavement, the clothes you wear. We dig up these awesome stories like explorers (woohoo!) and figure how to learn from them. The past seems ‘fixed,’ but History is always changing.

AMARBOLD LKHAGVASUREN (CLASS OF 2018)
History is an act of imagination. With only scraps of the past, historians put together stories of times removed from our own, and worlds shaped by people not too different from us. To understand this is to understand ourselves- that is fascinating.
