Participant Testimonials

"Sleeping at the Fort was a highlight!"

"The housing arrangements were great!  The rooms were comfortable and the distance to class was walkable!  I have enjoyed the access to computer facilities!"

"It was a great experience to be at a place so pivotal in our nation's history.  I will use the information extensively in my class.  The lectures and site visits were a great source of information."

"Dr. Chambers was wonderful to work with, and the other people involved with the setup were wonderful.  I especially enjoyed the night stay at Fort Niagara.  It was unique to spend a night in a French castle almost 300 years old.  My colleagues were great and easy to collaborate with on the final topic."

"This was an extremely well-run and interesting week.  I am coming away from this experience with a much better understanding of the history of the region and expect that I will find many useful connections to the curriculum that I teach."

"All were excellent.  I found each topic built on the previous sessions and I especially liked the daily trips to Old Fort Niagara as a means of keeping us centered on the topic."

"Incredible history, beautiful locale and wonderful people!"

"Niagara Universtiy was an outstanding setting for the workshop.  Beautiful.  Everyone was friendly and helpful from the workshop staff.  Everytime I went to the library I met someone new, eager to be helpful and to learn about me and the NEH program."

"I left feeling that I 'know' Fort Niagara, and if I wanted to know more, I need only ask."

"This program gave me a great deal of information about the various natioons that gathered at the Fort Niagara region.  I will use the knowledge to present a movie to my class using pictures and video from the program."

"I loved the night we stayed at Old Fort Niagara.  It really made me realize what it must have been like for the soldiers who served there."
