| Join The National History Club! |
|   |     For over 15 years the National History Club has inspired students and teachers to start History Club chapters at middle and high schools throughout the United States. Members of local History Club chapters participate in local and national programs, and create their own projects and activities. To date, more than 600 History Club chapters at high schools and middle schools in 45 states have joined the NHC, and there are over 18,000 student members.   Schools are free to decide whether they will be regular History Clubs open to all students, or if they want to designate themselves History Honor Societies, where members must meet certain requirements with regard to GPA and honors classes. The NHC serves as a clearinghouse for all our enrolled chapters to share information and activities with one another through our tri-annual Newsletter and monthly eBlasts. We also run numerous award programs such as the National History Scholars Society and the "History Student of the Year" to recognize the top students and chapters from around the country.   If you have a group of students who love history the NHC and want to get involved in a fun activity outside the classroom, we are the organization for you! For more information --- including our "How To Start a History Club" guide --- please contact Robert Nasson.    |

| The University of Chicago |
|   |     The University of Chicago is a leader in the study of history, through its pioneering study of civilizations, its intensive curriculum focused on research and critical thinking, and its excellent training of young historians for careers in law, government, education, public policy, business, and nonprofits. Small seminar classes taught by world-renowned faculty promote individual attention to students, vigorous debates, and the discovery of primary historical texts that cover the globe (Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas) and span time (from ancient Greece to the modern day).   The study of history will not only enable you to become a consumer of knowledge, it will also prepare you to become a producer of knowledge. Undergraduate history courses first train you to explore large-scale social, cultural, and political processes by defining concrete, researchable questions. Then, you will learn how to locate the primary and secondary sources necessary to posit answers to these large questions. Finally, faculty will assist you in transforming your research into elegant historical arguments that shed light on the multiple ways in which our world, our very reality, has transformed over time.    |

Vermont faculty have authored, co-authored, or edited more than a hundred books and written many articles, reviews, and newspaper editorials. They have also been at the fore of new digital initiatives that make primary sources, historical data, and interpretations of the past available in specialized databases and on professionally-curated websites.   At the University of Vermont, history courses range in format from larger lecture classes to smaller, research-intensive seminars. Each class requires extensive reading and writing and the ability to discuss complex issues in a sophisticated and well-informed manner.
