The
History Department and the Center for Southwestern and Mexican Studies
at Austin College are cooperating in a multi-year project designed to
provide numerous opportunities for collaborative learning experiences
in regional history between faculty members and students.
These efforts
center on a multi-faceted program of history courses, research

students are working together in collaboration to create
various biographical resources dealing with the lives of
