<p class=MsoNormal>On Thursday, April 29 (two weeks from today), the History
Department is co-hosting an event with the DePaul alumni office. You are
invited!!!! This is the third of our series of programs helping our
students begin connecting to life and the world beyond DePaul. I will
provide more detail later, but for now, it’s from 5:00 (p.m.) to 7:00 (p.m.)
in the Lincoln Park Welcome Center. DePaul history alums (you soon!) will
be talking about how their degree has helped them in the work world. It
will give you an opportunity to hear how their degree helped them get employed,
or helped them stay employed, or helped them win all the trivia games at
the office. And, it will give you an opportunity to begin
networking! Oh, wait…! Did I mention FOOD? Yes, there
will be food, too, so please let me know ASAP if you are interested in coming
(and, of course, can come).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On Friday, April 30 (er, two weeks and a day from today), we
are hosting our sixth annual Student History Conference. If you will be
presenting a paper, please come! If not, please come and support your friends
and colleagues! It’s a wonderful celebration of all things history
and our wonderful students! It runs throughout the day, from 9:00 (a.m.)
through 6:30 (p.m.) in the Student Center, so you can pop in and out of the
conference all day. Our keynote speaker (a surprise from the University
of Chicago) will be commemorating the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the
Mexican Revolution. And, we will have our fourth and fifth life planning
sessions! One of our panels will be a presentation by the Career
Center. And…we will have an all-day Career Center “resume
drive through and tune up” for those of you who need some ideas to get
started or need some fine tuning on a resume. Oh, and here’s some
more info….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you are presenting a paper, I and Dr. Otunnu will be
chairing a brief session of “what to expect” on Thursday, April 22
(next Thursday), from 3:00-4:00 (room TBD). If you can come to this session,
please let me know.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The award ceremony is from 5:30-6:30 on the day of the
conference. Who should go? Everyone! If you are
graduating, we have a brief recognition of the department’s top
graduating seniors. If you are presenting a paper, we will recognize you
and the top three papers. If you applied to Phi Alpha Theta, I will be
sending letters out soon, and we will recognize you. Please attend and
invite your fans, too! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Okay, that’s all for now! See you soon!<o:p></o:p></p>
