Newport Harbor High School teacher Susan Bond has been selected to attend

one of 27 summer study opportunities supported by the National Endowment

for the Humanities.

Bond, a Newport Beach resident, was chosen from among a national pool of

applicants.

The National Endowment for the Humanities is a federal agency that offers

annual summer seminars and institutes at colleges and universities so

teachers can study with experts in humanities fields.

Bond will participate in a seminar titled “World Religions in America,” a

six-week program at Harvard University.

“I’m thrilled to be selected for such a prestigious research project,”

Bond said. “I look forward to sharing my experience with my colleagues

and students in the fall.”

Selected teachers will receive a stipend to cover travel, study and

living expenses.

Other seminar topics include Shakespeare, American history and women’s

studies.

Bond earned a bachelor’s degree in history from San Diego State

University in 1990 and a master’s degree in history from Cal State Long

Beach in 1995. She teaches U.S. history and American democracy classes.
