Great Bay Social Sciences Professor Jordan Fansler and GBCC student Isaiah Cross were part of an archaeological dig in Durham that uncovered what is now believed to be the first archaeologically recovered slave quarters in New Hampshire. The project brought together students and faculty from Great Bay and UNH to excavate artifacts and piece together the daily lives of people enslaved by Revolutionary War General John Sullivan.
Professor Fansler said it best: "History is not about just teaching them the facts. It's about teaching them how to collect different sources and weigh them, and understand how they fit into the everyday lives of people."
That is exactly the kind of learning that happens at Great Bay.

In this video, our Director of Library Services Becky Clerkin, MLS, walks through the fascinating history of Great Bay, including how the college got its name, how it grew through multiple locations and transitions, and what has stayed the same throughout it all: a commitment to student success and workforce development.
