These include the sponsoring of speakers to the campus as well as visits to exhibitions and museums. Our members have also presented scholarly papers at regional and national Phi Alpha Theta conferences.

Many of our History graduates pursue graduate study or attend professional schools. In the recent past, our History graduates have entered graduate programs at St. Louis University, Duquesne University, Marquette University, Seton Hall, George Washington University, and many others. Other graduates have chosen to pursue legal studies at institutions such as The College of William and Mary, Seton Hall, and the University of Memphis. History and Political Science are two fields traditionally pursued by undergraduate students interested in attending law school.
