Announcing the Third Annual

Minnesota Undergraduate History Symposium

Saturday, April 9, 2016 | Bethel University | St. Paul, Minnesota
Established in 2014 by history professors from Bethany Lutheran College, Bethel
University, and the University of Northwestern-St. Paul, the Minnesota Undergraduate
History Symposium fosters opportunities for college students in the Upper Midwest to
Share their research in the field of history
Dialogue concerning the significance of the Christian faith in the historians vocation
Network for graduate school and career opportunities
The symposium features undergraduate presenters introduced by faculty moderators, plus
a panel of faculty members discussing broader issues related to historiography, faith and
learning, career development, and other themes of interest to History majors.
Undergraduate presentations may be adapted from
Senior theses, upper-division term papers, or similar research projects. The symposium
welcomes a broad spectrum of time periods, places, and fields (e.g., social history, military
history, cultural history).
Projects in digital history/digital humanities (undergraduate or faculty/student
collaboration).
Reflections on student internships, student-teaching placements, and other experiences
connecting historical study to the workplace.
Students of any major are welcome to participate, so long as their work conforms to the
historical discipline.
A formal call for papers will go out in January
2016, with applications due by March 11, 2016.
Please share this with students and faculty at
your institution, and refer any questions to:
