We have been fortunate to get some great interns through - including Nayla Torres Ruiz, to whom we said goodbye this morning. Nayla was extremely helpful with our Nebraska Forum on Global Issued program this spring. She’s leaving us with solid materials that will help us introduce this valuable program to more high schoolers in the future.

What if you could hear history as it happened?

Step behind the camera for a snapshot of our country’s history through the lens of the music that paints great American moments in time. Float in the harbor with Frances Scott Key as you watch the bombing of Fort McHenry, experience Julia Ward Howe’s angst on the eve of a Civil War battle, or climb to the top of Pike’s Peak with Katherine Lee Bates.

Join us in Eagle this Wednesday!
