Alumni News

Greetings and welcome to the Alumni page of our website! Over the decades the Department has graduated thousands of women and men at all levels—Bachelors, Masters, Ph.D.s—who enjoyed the study of History. Some of you have found careers related to your studies, as teachers, librarians, museum professionals, college and university professors, archivists. Others of you work in other fields or are homemakers or retired, but continue to read History, following the passion of your student days. Whatever you do, we want to keep in better touch with you!—and better enable you to contact friends and colleagues with whom you studied. Our new website makes this possible. Send us some brief information about yourself—graduation year, career path, courses and professors you remember, contact information. We'll post it all on our website, where you'll also find lots of information about our current activities.

And please take a look also at our Giving page. Many of you have already donated generously to the Department, and we are always grateful. Only with your support are we able to keep up our high level of activity. Your gifts support graduate students, who will go on to introduce and train new students in the study of History, and teaching innovations like our undergraduate interns who work with Minneapolis public school children on their History Day projects. These are just two examples, but they demonstrate how your gifts reverberate through the generations.

With best regards,

Eric D. Weitz
McKnight Distinguished University Professor and Chair, History Department
Arsham and Charlotte Ohanessian Chair in the College of Liberal Arts
