Greetings from the History Society Executives
We wish to extend a warm welcome to all undergraduate students. Whether History is your Major or simply a passion, you are more than welcome to stop by the History Society Room in Hagey Hall 122.
You may be asking yourself, what exactly does UW’s History Society do? Our goal is to create and nurture a friendly and supportive environment for all members of our Society, by fostering connections between first year, second year and upper year students. Making new friends is not the only benefit of being a part of the society. Upper Year students are often more than willing to share useful tips and “words of wisdom”. But the History Society is definitely not all business. On top of offering informal academic support, we also foster a fun and relaxed atmosphere in the Society room. Everyone needs to escape the stresses of University life every once in a while and there’s no better place to be than in Hagey Hall 122!
The good times don’t end there either! The History Society frequently hosts events throughout the semester for History undergraduates. For example, there is always the annual MacKinnon Dinner, which brings together both Professors and students for a night of great food, accomplished guest speakers, many laughs and many more memories. We also run movie nights, Paint Ball wars, workshops, Wing Nights and any other events that we, or other members of the club, may fancy.
If History has taught us anything, it is that everything is connected in some way, shape, or form. Humanity cannot exist without social interaction. The History Society is one outlet, one way, that you can connect with others around you, who share the same interests, to broaden your academic and social horizons. We are always looking for new members who simply hope to make the best of their History experience here, at the University of Waterloo. We hope to see you soon in Hagey Hall 122!
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, please feel free to e-mail us at uwhistory@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also subscribe to our newsletter here and like us on Facebook to keep up to date with the latest History Society News!
Cheers to a Fantastic Winter 2012,
Your History Society Executives,
Andrew, Christian, Nick, Sigita and Sheau
