Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Historical Studies Awards Recipients!

On behalf of the Department of Historical Studies and the Historical Studies Awards Committee, we are very proud to congratulate our 2019-2020 Awardees on their important achievements!

We were unable to fete our hard-working awardees with the luncheon we had planned in June 2020 due to the unusual worldwide circumstances but we hope to celebrate their accomplishments in June 2021.
