Hello historians,
This week the Center for the Humanities is hosting an event to open the new exhibit on empire, water, and the portrayal of wet bodies in Hawaii, India, and Africa in KL 362 from 12-1 on Wednesday. As this event is historical in nature and falls precisely within our meeting time, we invite all of our members to attend that event rather than our usually scheduled meeting.

Hello Historians!
We are happy to announce that this Thursday the second of November we will be holding a Navigating the History Major event in COB 265 from 3-4 PM.

We will be discussing major requirements, prerequisites, when certain courses are offered, recommendations on when to take certain courses, and some tips and tricks for how to get the most out of the major while still graduating on time. We will also go over the history courses being offered in Spring to help you pick classes for next term.
