Abstract
Abstract Halfway through Evan Faulkenbury’s fall 2019 introduction to public history course, he began emphasizing students’ Big Picture Goals. In addition to surveying public history’s multiple formats such as museums, historic sites, and oral history, Faulkenbury facilitated a partnership between his class, the Cortland County Historical Society, and the local tourism bureau. Their joint project used the digital platform Clio to create entries on fifty of Cortland County’s roadside historic markers. The project itself concluded with successes and failures, but the larger goal of making students aware of how public history can be a vehicle to accomplishing their own professional goals transformed the class in a positive way.
