Our excellent grad assistant, Monica Berg, leaves us this week after graduating with her MA in public history from IU Indianapolis. You may have met her last spring in Montréal, where she was indispensable in helping to run our 2025 conference, or at this week’s mini-con in DC, which she planned and coordinated as her culminating project with us. Even if you never met her, you probably used one of the many NCPH resources she worked on: the jobs page, where she added 30+ jobs a week on a regular basis; the weekly email update, which she edited and helped to write; and the bi-weekly Around the Field listing of events and opportunities for History@Work. We’ve loved working with Monica and know wherever she goes next will be lucky to have her–please join us in thanking her!
