All PAT members and history students are welcome. Please bring a dish to share. Graduate students, in particular, are encouraged to attend as our  esteemed Dr. Carroll will be sharing information about program expectations and other beneficial information.

Finally, our new dean, Dr. Stefanco (herself a member of Phi Alpha Theta) has been invited and we are hopeful that she will be able to attend.
