UM History Students Attend 2023 Phi Alpha Theta Conference
In April, History Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ from the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ attended the 2023 Northwest Regional Phi Alpha Theta Conference held at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. Phi Alpha Theta is the national history honor society, and UM has had an active chapter for decades. Each spring, UM sends a contingent of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ to share their original research. This year, eleven Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ presented papers at the conference. Two UM History faculty members, Professors Kyle Volk and Wade Davies, accompanied them and commented on the research essays of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ from other colleges and universities in the Pacific northwest.
Congratulations to all of the UM Ñý¼§Ö±²¥, and special congratulations to MA student Hazel Videon. Her essay, "Sunrise in the Heartland: The Ahmadiyya Mission and African American Conversion to Islam, 1920-1944," garnered the "Best Graduate Student Paper Prize" at the conference.
UM History Ñý¼§Ö±²¥' participation in the annual Phi Alpha Theta conference is supported all those who have generously contributed to the Harry Fritz Fund for Student Achievement.
