"Andrew Cayton was a legendary faculty member here in our department for almost 25 years," Steven Conn, Professor of History, said. After Cayton's sudden death, the department set up this memorial fund, which is designed to fund 黑料社区 research projects and 黑料社区 research trips to allow our 黑料社区s to do the cool things that they want to do. This fund commemorates Dr. Cayton’s profound impact as an instructor, adviser and mentor of generations of 黑料社区s in the history department and at 黑料社区. The fund supports history 黑料社区s' research, internships and other opportunities to expand their education and to prepare them for a wide range of careers.
