Phi Alpha Theta

Outstanding students may become members of the department's chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national History honorary society.

Students in History may also participate in the Undergraduate History Club, which organizes excursions to sites of historical interest and promotes collegial relations between students and faculty. Students represent their interests on several Departmental committees. The department keeps in contact with students through a semester newsletter, available in the department's offices.
