History Student Opportunities

History Club

The History Club is a student-run social and academic organization known for organizing lectures, peer advisement sessions (for class registration), faculty panel presentations on the graduate school application process, trips and weekly discussion or game night meetings. Club members are also active volunteers at area high schools and at our close neighbor, the 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Museum.
