As a professor specializing in modern German history and the two world wars, Dr. Tracie Provost is no stranger to studying and teaching about the horrors of the Holocaust.
But this past June the longtime Middle Georgia State University faculty member experienced what she described as the most intense learning period of her life. She participated in the Summer Institute for Teaching the Holocaust at the Kennesaw State University Museum of History and Holocaust Studies.
Her participation in the summer institute led to her application to and selection for the competitive Breman Teacher Ambassador program. As part of this program, Provost will spend her Thanksgiving holiday in Germany for training and professional development. The trip is part of a yearlong program that includes several extension workshops.
