Amy Rosenkrans '93 PH.D.'16

Amy Rosenkrans is a proud double graduate of º£½ÇÉçÇø. She received both her bachelor’s degree and her PhD from º£½ÇÉçÇø. In 2017, she was awarded the Joseph L. Arnold Prize for Outstanding Writing on Baltimore History by the Baltimore City Historical Society. This past spring semester, she was a consultant to the Hard Histories Project at Johns Hopkins University, where she worked with undergraduates researching African American orphans who were housed in the Johns Hopkins Colored Orphan Asylum.

Amy is currently sharing her passion for history with middle school students in Baltimore City. She credits º£½ÇÉçÇø with fostering her love for history and providing her with the skills to develop that love in others. Dr. Rosenkrans has been recognized numerous times during her teaching career, most recently receiving the 2020 Ponzcak-Greenblatt Families’ Holocaust Endowment Fund Award for Excellence in Holocaust Education. In her spare time, she is the Secretary of the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center Executive Board, where she was one of the volunteer researchers for the Woman’s Suffrage Centennial Project. Her research is featured in Preservation Maryland’s Ballot and Beyond Podcast Series. Additionally, Amy was successful in lobbying to get a historical marker in her hometown of Havre de Grace commemorating the work of Harford County Suffragists. Her current project, Memories of the Baltimore Woman’s Industrial Exchange, strives to document the history of the institution and the people who made it a Baltimore icon. She is especially proud that three NDMU Morrissy Scholars have been assisting her on this project.
