Congratulations to the 2018 History majors!

Hello friends,

A few updates as the semester wraps up here at Patrick Henry.
1) Keep your eyes peeled for the next issue of the Alexandria Historical Review. It will be published soon!

2)With the current organizers graduating, we would like to pass on the Society to Joshua Trepiccione. He will be the new contact person for trips, membership, and information.

We wish him and all the members of the Society the best.
