The graduate program in history will be hosting a two day accepted student open house. Invited guests will visit graduate classes and department programs, meet with faculty and graduate students, and take a campus tour. By invitation only.

Sponsored by the History Department.

No classes during spring break. UGA offices will be open.

UGA's chapter of the NAACP and Phi Alpha Theta, Epsilon Pi (UGA's chapter of the National History Honor Society, Inc.) are hosting a panel discussion about how Black History is represented on our campus. From street and building names to historic markers, our surrounding campus landscape may appear to present a white-washed history. However, just beneath the surface is a wealth of black history that extends far beyond Hunter, Holmes, and desegregation. In what ways does our campus fail to tell this story?
