Hey guys!! There’s going to be a meeting tonight at 6PM at the Apothecary where we will discuss time traveling. Would you want to live in the time period that you study?

Hey guys!!! We will be meeting tomorrow night at 6PM at the Apothecary per usual. Tomorrow’s topic: As we get settled in our new routine, many people find themselves having roommate conflicts within the first month. It isn’t always easy to come up on a practical agreement—so we will be discussing terrible (and great!) treaties that ended wars. Did the treaty just cause another war? Was the most significant battle of the war fought after it was signed? Was it actually your turn to do the dishes??? See you guys tomorrow!

Hi Everyone! We are having a History Club Meeting tonight at 6 pm at the Apothecary, in their back room. Tonight, we have a lot of exciting things to talk about. Our theme is failed military campaigns and big battle blunders. Come and discuss what you are talking about in class or what you have on your mind as a particularly inexcusable error! Also, hear about the trip that we will be taking to look at museums in Pittsburgh and our thoughts on how to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall!

Hi Everyone! We'll be having our first meeting of the year at The Apothecary at 6pm. We're going to get together to talk about how our semester is going so far and meeting the new officers!
As usual, we have a theme for discussion. Today's will be: Does popular culture that deals with historical topics have effects on how we view history? Examples being the Disney Pocahontas movie or, more recently, Hamilton. How do they change how people view history?
