Elizabethtown College is transforming history education with its Public Heritage Studies program, led by director Jean-Paul Benowitz. This immersive, community-driven approach takes students beyond the classroom into Pennsylvania’s rich cultural landscape, preparing them for careers in archives, museums, and historic sites through hands-on experiences and real-world internships.
