What if Americans could revisit the founders' debate over creating the electoral college? In a way, they now can, thanks to a new virtual reality history site recently presented by CML and Digital Scholarship Services.

Dobbins, a doctoral student at George Mason University and CML's community historian. can document her family's presence in Fairfax going back seven generations and is the author of a new book about county history, "The Lost Black Communities of Merrifield, The Pines, and Williamstown."

If an academic center's buttons could burst, CML's would pop with pride over the scholarly achievements and, now, graduation laurels racked up by two of our most active undergraduates, Shemika Curvey and Andrew Snowman, who both call CML central to their scholarly growth.
