We welcome the new class of graduate students to the Department of History. As part of preparation for classes, please join us for a department orientation on Monday, August 15 at 8:30 am.

Students who are serving as TAs should *also* plan to attend an afternoon session from 1:30 pm to 2:30pm.

Public history students will have an additional session in the afternoon from 3-4pm.

We look forward to meeting you!

Restrictions for seats in all History classes have been removed. Prior to start of classes, try to add the class through MYPACK PORTAL.

MYPACK PORTAL closes Tuesday August 16.

Starting August 17, to add a History class, you must go to the FIRST day of class!

We have uploaded the pictures Prof. Slatta took to a Picasa folder, where you can view and download individual pictures.

Again, congratulations to you all.

As you get ready to graduate from NCSU, we encourage you to think about buying a commemorative brick.  Each brick can contain up to three lines of text and is placed in the sidewalk in front of Withers.  Use it to commemorate your own graduation or to honor a favorite faculty member or a particularly helpful staff member.  Proceeds will go to support the work of the department.

Blogging Then and Now (250 Years Ago)

We think of blogs and tweets as peculiar to the twenty-first century, but similar fragments of information circulated widely in 18th-century Paris and London.  Comparisons of messages exchanged then and now reveal surprising parallels, and they raise questions about the way communication systems operate in different times and cultures.
