Patty Seleski Marines' Instructor of the Year
History professor Patty Seleski has won the Major General Thomas S. Jones Distance Learning Instructor of the Year Award for the Marine Corps' Miramar Region campuses. Bill Walsh of the USMC College of Continuing Education said Dr. Seleski's "performance as an onsite instructor has been consistently noteworthy, and I can tell you that I personally receive numerous laudatory comments from her students regarding their satisfaction with her instructional method." The Miramar Region includes seven distance learning campuses with twenty-five faculty members serving the professional military education requirements of several hundred Marines.
New Major Requirements in Effect A new, more flexible set of requirements for earning a history major went into effect in the 2008-2008 academic year. However, students should not try to change their catalogue years to take advantage of the new requirements before talking to their history department advisors in addition to Advising Services. If you are considering such a change, be certain that you are not already on track to satisfy the old requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about your grad check, please see your history department advisor.
