Join us in creating an organization that lets you put your own special mark on the University.
We don't just talk about history! We enjoy meeting new people, helping each other employment and academic opportunities and enjoying university life.

We would like to thank
These people have all been of enormous help in founding the History Club. Thanks go out to Susan Komura, Professor Cogswell, the faculty and TA's (that's you Amos) of the History Department. The President of the Dance, Karen Haley, should be thanked too...a little. When are you going to do that Interpretive Dance of UCR, Karen? And I seem to remember Pulu throwing his hat into the ring...
