Phi Alpha Theta/History Club Book Group

The book group conducts several activities, such as:

• organizing extracurricular reading and discussion groups related to history
• organizing groups to attend movies with a history interest together
• organizing groups to watch videos with a history interest together

In the past, students have decided to have dinner or refreshments together as part of their group activity. It is possible to obtain funds from the Department of History for this purpose.

Groups' special on-going activities include:

• The Dulles Review

Dr. Richard Ugland, the Department's Academic Program Coordinator is the faculty adviser for the Zeta Chapter and thus serves as faculty and departmental sponsor for the History Club.
