Hey All!!!
Long time no hear!! So the summer is rolling to an end and it’s that time of year where everyone is gearing back into school.
So! In case you don’t know, first day back in Imagine Day which is an opportunity for new students to get a feel for the university and also to take a look around and scope out different clubs that will be promoting themselves. The History Students Association will be no exception!! We want your involvement!! So come see us at our booth on Imagine Day and join us in our trivia and candy prizes!
Also, if your declaring your major soon and it’s in History, there’s a ‘Welcome Back History Majors’ meeting that’s being held at Buchanan Block A in room 102 at 11:30am on Monday September 7th, where important questions such as graduation, how to declare a major/minor, how to make sure your transfer credits apply or even how to join us, the HSA, will be answered.
Also! Another important announcement! The HSA is looking for new executive members. If you are interested in working with a group of people that organizes and participates in events such as the Annual Wyne+Cheese Lecture Series, or the Thompson Rivers University Undergraduate Conference then you might be interested in joining our team!!
The HSA promotes, directs and/or sponsors such activities—whether they’re academic, social, athletic, or professional—that will benefit its members and also enhance communication and networking within the Department of History between students, professors, alumni, and relevant community contacts. The HSA works to make aware to History students the various graduate programs, post-graduation employment opportunities, and current job and volunteer opportunities, that are relevant, are available to students of History.
So, in lieu of this we’re looking for someone who is interested in positions that might encompass the following job aspects:
– Maintaining the HSA blog & Facebook page
– Overseeing the bi-weeklyl HSA newsletter
– Organizing events such as the Annual Wyne + Cheese Lecture Series
– Organizing Bzzr Gardens, Pub Nights or Film Nights
– Helping organize the Thompson Rivers University Undergraduate Conference – be part of the team that reads, selects and helps students present exceptional papers to History faculty and students
If you have any other suggestions of great events or ideas, they are most welcome too!!!!
If you are interested in being part of the executive, email us at ubchsa@gmail.com. Tell us a little about yourself and why you’re interested in becoming apart of the HSA Team. Also, tell us what events or other activities you might be interested in becoming involved with.
Looking forward to hearing from you!!!!!
