The Department of History is a community of scholars committed to studying the past in all its diversity. Our award-winning faculty excels in teaching, research, and engagement. Our students are deeply involved in historical study in and out of the classroom, and our alumni use their historical studies in a wide variety of careers.

A donation to the department will allow us to expand engagement opportunities, support students and faculty, and improve the educational experience for the next generation of history students. Thank you for supporting us!
