This Month's Speaker
The May speakers are Dr. Lisa L. Heuvel and her son Sean Heuval. They will present "The Old College Goes to War: Exploring William & Mary's role in the American Civil War". When most people think of the College of William and Mary, they usually associate it with the colonial era. However, the College had an equally rich and eventful history during the American Civil War. This presentation will explore key Civil War-era events on the William and Mary campus, as well as the wartime contributions of its students, faculty, and alumni.
Lisa L. Heuvel is a museum administrator, teacher, and educational consultant who specializes in higher education history and Native American Studies. She has extensive work experience with several public history institutions, including the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
Sean M. Heuvel is a faculty member with the Department of Leadership and American Studies at Christopher Newport University, where he specializes in military leadership, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. His previous publications include Life After J.E.B. Stuart: The Memoirs of His Granddaughter, Marrow Stuart Smith.
We will meet in the Williamsburg Regional Library Theatre located at 515 Scotland St. in Williamsburg on May 224nd at 7 PM.
