The Department Seminar Series brings distinguished historians from across North America to campus to present their research in a public lecture. Held monthly, the series attracts both faculty and students and is a central feature of our collective intellectual life. The Department Seminar Series is made possible by the generosity of the Bernice Nugent Bequest.
