The History Department presented a webinar, "A+ Application: Tips for Applying," for prospective History graduate students for the Fall 2017 application cycle. Topics included approaching a faculty mentor, selecting a writing sample, and crafting a personal statement followed by a brief question and answer session. Presenters included Graduate Program Chair and Professor Ellen Hartigan-O'Connor, Professor Lorena Oropeza, Professor Justin Leroy, and Professor Andres Resendez.
