| American Civil War Museum: Changing The Narrative |
|   |     More than a collection of artifacts, at the American Civil War Museum, we are storytellers and educators. In the battle against the all-too-human instinct to wish the past were simple, we strive to show that the Civil War holds an unparalleled significance to the complexities of our culture.   With the goal of communicating human connections to history and current culture, the Museum's exhibits tell stories of how the War affected Americans across the divides of race, gender and nationality. We are always looking to provide our visitors with multiple perspectivesand added dimensions of the Civil War.    |

| Santa Clara University |
|   |     Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Santa Clara University is ranked #54 among national universities in the 2020 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings. A Jesuit institution, it is California's oldest operating institution of higher learning. The Santa Clara Broncos field nearly 20 Division I athletic teams and are known for their successful soccer and volleyball programs. The beautiful campus is slightly more than an hour away from San Francisco via Cal Train.   The History Department offers a lively array of classes featuring various world areas and/or time periods offered by a deeply engaged and productive faculty. The Department boasts an enthusiastic History Club, a student organization dedicated to bringing together students and faculty outside the classroom to enjoy activities including historically themed games, films, and speakers.   Santa Clara History students produce Historical Perspectives, the department's journal of student work. It regularly wins prizes in the national competition for the Gerald D. Nash History Journal Prize. The Department's chapter of Phi Alpha Theta (national History Honor Society) is also extremely active, regularly presenting (and winning prizes) at regional student conferences.    |

| University of Arkansas |
|   |     At the University of Arkansas, the flagship land-grant institution of Arkansas, the History Department ranks among the ten top programs. Like the other top programs at the UofA, it has drawn students from the surrounding states as well, and beyond, including some international students worldwide. With a 32 full-time faculty specialized in most time periods and geographic areas, it is known for its high quality of teaching (being the recipient of numerous prizes, including, in 2018, a campus wide award for Excellence in Teaching), and for its prolific scholarship, with over 50 books published in the past ten years, a record that includes two Pulitzer prize finalists.   Under the generous guidance of these scholars, students can explore traditional and new areas of study, from Colonial America to LGBTQ+, from Ancient Greece to Modern China, from International Relations to Environmental History. Through numerous agreements with overseas institutions, and an interdisciplinary university-owned campus in Rome, Italy, students have the option of affordably spending time studying abroad, whether for two weeks or a whole semester.   Thanks to its strong partnership with all the Social Sciences, Humanities, and the College of Education, the History Department prides itself in its interdisciplinary approach to its craft. Its professional training has proven very strong, preparing students for careers in education, government, law, media and communication, social services, business, and nonprofits. Besides producing a few national leaders in political, military, and business areas, we also count as proud products of our department bankers, lawyers, medical doctors, librarians, teachers, journalists, museum directors, poets, park rangers, software entrepreneurs, and helicopter pilots.   Finally, with 40 Ph. D. students, the Department's graduate program has for a long time been among the nation's most successful in placing its candidates in academic jobs. You can check about our department on our website and Facebook page.    |
