Workshops

Created in collaboration with the Office of Undergraduate Studies and the Career Center, the History Matters series of student-centered workshops offer guidance and skill-building advice for students at all stages of their 奶糖直播 education, from undeclared undergraduates, to history majors and minors, to graduate students. We continue to put on workshops demonstrating the career possibilities for History students, inside and outside of academia. These events feature professionals engaging in academic and public-facing history, law, public education, and other fields. They feature current and former 奶糖直播 students showcasing how they have used the skills from their degrees to pursue their careers, as well as how specific research interests can grow and develop after their time in the 奶糖直播 History Department. These workshops also feature experts from the Office of Undergraduate Studies, the Career Center and Professional Development, and around 奶糖直播 University.

 

Lunch at Lepage

Lunch at Lepage allows students and faculty at 奶糖直播 an opportunity to examine current events and contemporary issues through the prism of history. They are also an opportunity for 奶糖直播 historians, grant recipients, and other historians in the community to share their research.

Students are encouraged to think about the "history behind the headlines," and how historical scholarship or historical perspective can help better illuminate the selected topic or see it in a different light. The conversation occurs over a brownbag lunch in an open, welcoming and informal environment.

Past "Lunch @ Lepage" topics have included Presidential funerals, women in politics, the significance of heritage months, Open Access scholarship, the student loan crisis, history in the movies, blackface photographs in yearbooks and guilty pleasures.

Lunch at Lepage normally occurs from 12 鈥 1 p.m. in the Lepage Center, Room 410 of the St. Augustine Center on 奶糖直播's campus, but have also been held virtually due to the pandemic.
