I know there are a few of you, History majors that is, in the class, and a few others who are interested in the major. I'm thinking of having an evening session just to talk about doing History--as a major, and as a career. I don't intend at all to impinge on the work of your individual academic advisors, but rather to provide an opportunity to talk as a professional group in a way we might in a smaller class setting, but really can't in the large intro class. I'll ask in class, but you can also write me an e-mail (isern@plainsfolk.com) if you'd be interested in that sort of thing.
