Robert K. Hedrick, Jr. and Walter F. Huxley Endowed Scholarship History and Art History

Cesar Cordova calls Manassas, Virginia home, and is a history undergraduate at George Mason University. His interests in history pertain to secondary education and imparting the importance of empathy when learning about the people and cultures of the past. While at the same time he wants people to appreciate the absurdity of the human experience which is reflected in his work. His favorite book is Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole which includes a quote that best fits Cesar’s identity, “You could tell by the way he talked, though, that he had gone to school a long time. That was probably what was wrong with him.”
