History Convening Group, Salemeno School of American and International Studies

All undergraduate students are encouraged to submit an abstract of original historical research to present at the Northeast regional meeting of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honor society. History paper topics may include any time period, theme, or region. You do not need to be a history major or member of Phi Alpha Theta to submit or present at the regional conference. Members do qualify for special awards and distinctions.

This is a wonderful opportunity to present your research, to meet interested scholars and other talented students from around the region. Participating in the conference is a great way to build career skills and resumes.
If you are a history professor, show your support to young history scholars by volunteering to attend and moderate a panel. Please respond by February 15. The registration fee will be waived for attending volunteers. The conference registration fee is $30 and includes breakfast, refreshments, and lunch. Some chapters, including Ramapo College, will pay the registration fee for Phi Alpha Theta members from their own chapters. Please check with your chapter at your school.

February 15: Application form and abstract due by email.
