Congratulations

Congrats and praise to students from the NDSU History Department who presented at the Student HIstory Conference in Vermillion last week. Reports are that Sara Egge, Tash Smith, Andy Gress, Katie Wright, and Ryan McCamy acquitted themselves well. In fact, Andy brought home the prize for best paper in regional history! Way to go, man!

To Salt Lake

Note to students & colleagues: I'll be gone the latter part of this week (W-R-F) to the annual meeting of the Western Social Science Association in Salt Lake City. I always take part in the New Zealand and Australian Studies Section of the WSSA; this year I have a paper to present on the New Zealand explorer, John Turnbull Thomson.

History in the News

For the benefit of students and colleagues, I'm going to begin making note here of instances in the popular press where History is shown to play a vital role in everyday life. My main print news source is the Christian Science Monitor, so I'm going to note a recent feature in that newspaper. The issue of 31 March contains an intriguing feature of how History increases the value of real estate and aids in sales of properties. Go here.
