THANK YOU! In addition to funding the activities of the History Club and the annual student scholarship awards, gift monies fund the activities of the Phi Alpha Theta History Honors Society, including the publication of the award-winning undergraduate research journal, Historical Perspectives, as well as student participation in regional and national conferences.
At these conferences, Associate Professor Harry Odamtten explains, students “not only encounter students from diverse backgrounds but experience first-hand the dynamic research being conducted by students and faculty at other institutions. The History department’s ability to fund student participation and on occasion host these conferences is the difference maker for a lot of our students who have gone on to greater heights in academia and elsewhere.”
