Student Resources

Get Involved Outside the Classroom

College is much more than taking classes to earn a degree. Meet new people, develop your leadership skills, and make an impact on the campus and community by getting involved in student organizations. The Department of History sponsors two clubs:

Phi Alpha Theta (International History Honor Society)
With the right academic standing, you could be eligible to join Phi Alpha Theta, the worldwide honor society for history students. As a member of this organization, you will learn more about the field of history while spending time with your peers. Phi Alpha Theta activities include hosting bingo games, book sales, monthly movie nights, and a summer trip to places like New York City and Washington, DC.

For more information about Phi Alpha Theta contact Dr. Kim Perez, faculty advisor. 

Please feel free to visit the Phi Alpha Theta facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/#!/home.php?sk=group_203231469702300

History Club
Ready for action within your major? Engage in discussion and workshop opportunities with fellow students as a member of the History Club.   Students from any major can join the History Club, so the membership is as diverse and interesting as the information being shared.

For more information about History Club, contact Dr. David Goodlett, faculty advisor.

Beyond activities in the Department of History, majors become part of many campus-wide organizations, such as Tigers in Service or the Student Government Association. For more information about the 100+ student organizations available at FHSU, check out the Center for Student Involvement Web site.
