History major builds inclusive spaces through campus leadership
Penn State graduate Zach Hamer-Lang, who earned a degree in history and dual minors in sociology and Jewish studies this past weekend, grew up immersed in academia, leading him to value history and question the world from various angles.
Hamer-Lang is the son of Clarence Lang, Susan Welch Dean of the College of the Liberal Arts, and Jennifer Hamer, professor of African American studies and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Through them, he said, he was raised to understand that history is the study of our everyday experiences as much as it is the past.
