UCBHSSP is not currently hosting a NEH Landmarks workshop.
We hope to host this workshop in the future!
During the summer of 2019, UCBHSSP welcomed educators who wished to expand their understanding of this significant period in US History. Inquisitive and excited teachers spent the week learning rigorous content with a community of professionals. The program will be based at the UC Berkeley campus, but we will travel daily to visit landmarks across the region.
