MWC History and American Studies Students

Awards and News: Another Great Year!

This web site has moved to http://www.umw.edu/cas/history/default.php. Please update your links.

There has been a sizable increase in the number of new History and American Studies major declarations during the past couple academic years. We are proud of this statistic, but we have even greater pride in the quality of students enrolled in the History and American Studies majors programs. We have created this "Our Students" section on our Web site to celebrate the remarkable depth and diversity of the students in our department. Besides, we are sure you will find their stories as interesting as we do!
