History Teacher wins grant for Summer Dickens Seminar

Faculty Spotlight


Please join us in congratulating Shorecrest US History Teacher Ron Heller for receiving a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant to attend a four-week NEH Summer Seminar for teachers on Charles Dickens this July in Santa Cruz, California! 

The NEH Summer Seminar, “Charles Dickens:Hard Times and A Tale of Two Cities,” received 46 applicants for just 16 available seats. "Your application materials were impressive and engaging, and I know that you will make a valuable addition to the seminar." Heller heard this week.

The Endowment’s Seminars, Institutes and Workshops are intended to extend and deepen knowledge and understanding of the humanities by focusing on significant topics, texts, and issues; contribute to the intellectual vitality and professional development of participants; and foster a community of inquiry that provides models of excellence in scholarship and teaching.

Look out California Alumni Chargers, Ron is heading your way!
