The History Leadership Council
One way of getting involved in the Department is to become a member of the History Leadership Council (HLC). Members represent the History Department at concentration fairs and departmental events, and share with students interested in History their experiences as concentrators. They also constitute the advisory board, which meets with the History Undergraduate Office staff to discuss how to improve the curriculum and connections between faculty, tutors, and undergraduates, as well as to provide feedback on program policies and issues. They are a vital part of the History community.
