History Is Alive: How the Past Gives Meaning to Your Present

History isn’t just about dates and dusty facts—it’s a living force that shapes who we are today. In this engaging and accessible seminar, we’ll explore how the past continues to influence our personal and collective lives in surprising and meaningful ways.

Led by Dr. Scott Craig, a seasoned educator with over a decade of teaching experience in history and the humanities, this session is designed for curious adults who enjoy big ideas and thoughtful conversation. Whether you’re a history lover or just someone who wants to better understand the world around you, you’ll leave with fresh insights, new connections, and a renewed sense of how your story fits into the larger human journey.

Expect a welcoming atmosphere, plenty of discussion, and a chance to connect with others who value learning as a lifelong pursuit.
