Loyola University Chicago History Graduate Student Association

TOMORROW is the deadline for the Call For Papers for The 17th Annual Graduate Student Conference of Loyola University Chicago’s History Graduate Student Association!!!

This year’s conference theme, Responding to Crises, looks at how we, as human beings, react in times of hardship. We invite participants to think broadly about what crises are and to consider how our varied backgrounds inform our responses. We welcome new research, academic papers, and primary-source-based projects. Share with us what you've learned and how you adapted to your circumstances. Adherence to the theme is encouraged but certainly not required. More information at

Come one, come all to sit and chat! We will be hosting an open Zoom room to talk, chat, and catch up. Come in and out at your leisure. Sneak away from family or get some company. Looking forward to saying hi! Starting at 3PM CST.

Don't forget to join us for our monthly HGSA meeting today at 4:30PM today!

We'll be announcing some important HGSA news and seeking YOUR input on the rest of this semester's events! We'll have info on new opportunities to gain skills, rack up professional experience, and also just relax as we head into finals. Come on down and bring a beverage of your choice!

TODAY from 1:00-3:30 pm, HGSA, and Career Pathways will host a double event to help you to make the most of your graduate internship experience! The first half will be a graduate student- only event to discuss internship searches, aspirations, pitfalls, hoops to jump through, and past experiences ranging from excellent to awful. The second half of our program will be a more formal discussion led by Dr. Karamanski and Dr. Mooney-Melvin which will feature a panel of several of last year’s LUC history department interns, Miranda Ridener, Casey Terry, Hannah Lahti, Erin Witt, and Jennifer Duvall. The panel will reflect on how their internship experiences informed their professional interests and career opportunities, and they will also offer tips on how to make the most of internship experiences. Special note: There will be a short break between sessions, at approximately 2:00 pm so that those of us who care to can enjoy a mid-afternoon snack!
