Visit William! He's in the office most days on the third floor of Ettinger in the History suite.
If you ask our admin or nearby faculty nicely, you can even take a selfie with him. He's a total ham.
At @berghistory we have
- swag (pencils, cups, tattoos)
- occasionally cake
- a William (pictures here getting ready to go to the office)

“Every professor I’ve worked with at Muhlenberg—all of my history professors, the art professors, every professor I’ve worked with—has been great.” This summer, Yuyang (Hector) Chen ’23 leveraged his coursework as an intern with the Allentown Art Museum. bit.ly/3sgAmuu
What can you do with a history degree? Hector Chen '23 is using his major in history and minor in studio art to do amazing things.
Super proud of research assistant extraordinaire Hector Chen ‘23 for his acceptance into Sotheby’s art business master’s program. @berghistory #historymajor

The #bookbeetlepress made its debut yesterday for Dr. Yankaskas’s senior seminar. The 36pt Garamont we used was a lot better than the tiny type from the 18th-c. newspapers!

This week in Dr. Antonovich's History of the American West class, students are playing the classic home computer game, Oregon Trail, and thinking about how AmWest history is taught and consumed in pop culture.

Today in Dr. Antonovich's Birds & Bees class, archivists from @ducomarchives came to visit. Students examined primary documents from the Woman’s Medical College of PA & then got to look at different versions of Dr. Barbie from the 1980s to the present. Material culture ftw!

Met up with last year’s History research assistants for lunch and introduced them to some almost-100 y.o. “secret” observers on the Trumbower Building. @berghistory @Muhlenberg #gargoyles #grotesques #campusarchitecture #collegearchives – at Allentown, PA
