2022 Day of Giving

Your generous support on this Day of Giving makes many student opportunities possible.

THANK YOU! In addition to supporting the activities of the History Club and the annual student scholarship awards, your donations support the activities of the Phi Alpha Theta History Honors Society, including the publication of its award-winning undergraduate research journal, Historical Perspectives, which took first place in the 2021 Phi Alpha Theta Gerald D. Nash History Undergraduate Print Journal Competition. This journal provides undergraduates with the unique opportunity to serve as student co-editors and become published authors in a nationally-recognized and competitive peer-reviewed journal.

Starting this year, we are pleased to announce that we are launching a new initiative to fund rising seniors’ research for their senior honors projects. Students can apply for a stipend of $1000 to conduct preliminary research during the summer months before their senior year.

Gift monies also fund student participation in regional and national conferences, such as the recently established “Johns Hopkins University’s Annual Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium.” 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.” 

Thank you, again, for your support!
