Professor John Curry (History) traveled to Reston, Virginia, for the annual meeting tasked with producing the future versions of the Advanced Placement World History examinations for high school students throughout the global K-12 system. Acting as the Higher Education co-chair of the committee overseeing the process of evaluating everything from multiple-choice to essay and document-based questions, he oversaw a committee composed of both higher education and high school teachers to finalize the exams for the future. Over 350,000 students take the AP World History examination each year, and to follow up on this event, Curry will travel to the American Historical Association meeting in San Francisco in January to discuss the evolution of the Advanced Placement exam's development as part of a roundtable on the subject.
