History is NOT a useless major! Check out this article on why being a History major is a great path!

History Is Not a Useless Major: Fighting Myths with Data | AHA ver the past 20 years, warnings from a variety of sources—from career counselors to administrators to government officials—have convinced many prospective college students (and their parents) that the only safe path to a well-paying job is through a STEM major.

Did you miss today's meeting? No worries! Here's a brief summary of what was discussed.
We set a tentative date for the next meeting on November 3rd, at 11:00 am.
Brainstorming ideas for: Service Learning Project, yearly club trip, fundraising, other events, and social media outreach. If you've got ideas on any of these, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Hey all, this is Steph, your new club president! I'm sure you've all seen the emails but I wanted to put this out here, too. We will be having our first meeting on September 11th from 11am-12pm. THERE WILL BE FOOD!! Also, we still have some open spots on our Executive Board that we are looking to fill with history and non-history majors. This looks great on a resume or application for grad school, and are fairly easy roles to fulfill. At the meeting, we'll be discussing future events and would love to hear everyone's input on places to go, things to see, people to bring to campus, etc. We're hoping to make this another great year, but we need your support! If nothing else, come eat our food and hang out with us on SEPTEMBER 11th!!

Hey everyone!

Unfortunately, somethings came up and we are going to have to cancel the History Club meeting scheduled for tomorrow. I apologize for the late notice! We will plan for a time after Spring Break.

Thanks for understanding!
