"I've always wanted to learn more about WWII. Growing up, you often learn about it as part of your curriculum and through oral story telling from the people who were there. This tour was the ultimate learning experience because it provided a detailed and expanded view of the WWII."
- Susan Brown, 2011 tour participant
We are friends of the History Department at The Ohio State University. Some of us are current and former students of the university; some of us earned degrees in history; others are current and former faculty members of the department; some of us have an interest in the History Department and its continued growth in excellence; and all of us love to read and talk about history. We range in ages from 18 to 88 and from history specialists to business people, lawyers, and other professionals who never lost their interest in history.
If you liked history as an undergrad, then you are going to love it now.
Your gifts to the Department of History at Ohio State University empower us better to fulfill our mission of publishing the very best research, providing excellent instruction to our students, and advancing the interests of the citizens of Ohio. Your generosity will enable a needy undergraduate to remain in school, assist an ambitious graduate student in traveling to an archive in the United States or abroad, supplement the department’s quest to retain the very best faculty, or otherwise help us to advance our mission.
