ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½

History Club

Several undergraduate students came together in September and October of 2022 to form a History Club. The purpose of the club is to provide a welcoming community for history majors; hold history-related and career-related events, outings, and activities; and cultivate historical knowledge and discussion. The club is taking steps to become a registered student organization at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½. Membership is open to students of any major. All are welcome!

To join the club or find out when the next meeting is, email Bryan Garcia (bcgarcia1@miners.utep.edu) or Dr. Paul Edison (pedison@utep.edu).

History Honor Society (Phi Alpha Theta)

Phi Alpha Theta is an academic honor society open to both undergraduate and graduate students with a mission to promote the study of History. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s chapter of Phi Alpha Theta organizes various events for students and faculty, including a periodic student history conference held in conjunction with Phi Alpha Theta at NMSU.

To become a member of Phi Alpha Theta, undergraduate students must have taken a minimum of 12 semester hours (4 courses) in History, and have a GPA of at least 3.0 overall and 3.1 in History. Membership dues are $50.00. This gives lifetime membership, eligibility to apply for various scholarships, prizes, and conferences, and four issues of the organization’s publication, The Historian.
