Upcoming Events

At the Department of History, we believe history should be shared, discussed and debated—both in the classroom and out in the world. That’s why we regularly host guest speakers, faculty talks and public events on and off campus. Whether you’re a student, alum or a curious visitor, we’d love to see you at one of our upcoming gatherings.
