Come one, come all to sit and chat! We will be hosting an open Zoom room to talk, chat, and catch up. Come in and out at your leisure. Sneak away from family or get some company. Looking forward to saying hi! Starting at 3PM CST.

Don't forget to join us for our monthly HGSA meeting today at 4:30PM today!

We'll be announcing some important HGSA news and seeking YOUR input on the rest of this semester's events! We'll have info on new opportunities to gain skills, rack up professional experience, and also just relax as we head into finals. Come on down and bring a beverage of your choice!

TODAY from 1:00-3:30 pm, HGSA, and Career Pathways will host a double event to help you to make the most of your graduate internship experience! The first half will be a graduate student- only event to discuss internship searches, aspirations, pitfalls, hoops to jump through, and past experiences ranging from excellent to awful. The second half of our program will be a more formal discussion led by Dr. Karamanski and Dr. Mooney-Melvin which will feature a panel of several of last year’s LUC history department interns, Miranda Ridener, Casey Terry, Hannah Lahti, Erin Witt, and Jennifer Duvall. The panel will reflect on how their internship experiences informed their professional interests and career opportunities, and they will also offer tips on how to make the most of internship experiences. Special note: There will be a short break between sessions, at approximately 2:00 pm so that those of us who care to can enjoy a mid-afternoon snack!

Reminder: Today "Election 2020 Wrap-up" at 7PM CST! What's the real story behind all of those tweets and what might happen after the election? Join us as we reflect on what's been making headlines and trending before the election and what might happen after the votes are counted.

Today from 5-6pm, tune in for What's Cooking With HGSA?, a live, HGSA-member-led cooking demo with Lucas Bensley, moderated by Nathan Ellstrand. Lucas will make mashed potatoes and a fall dish featuring squash. We'll discuss the history of American veggies and their appropriation by European cooks. Bring your cooking questions, pour a drink, or even cook along! Check your emails for the zoom link.

Today from 5-6pm, we're throwing a Halloween Party! Miranda and Lizzy will have trivia, a costume contest, and more--and faculty are invited! Bonus points for history-related Halloween costumes, of course. Check your emails for the zoom link.

Join us today at 4PM! Despite its name, “Digication” is not a nightmare Zoom vacation scenario. It is a sophisticated E-portfolio platform adopted by the LUC history department and offered to Loyola graduate students. The HGSA and Career Pathways will be hosting a workshop on the Digication platform. Essentially, this will be a lightly structured workspace where you can learn to use the “Digication” tool from our fellow graduate students who have some expertise in its use and from Brody Tate, the Learning Portfolio manager here at Loyola. We hope to see you there!

Our October Public History Event: Museum Professional Q&A: Navigating Museums and Archives During COVID with Lori Osborne and Janet Olson! They will discuss their work with the Frances Willard House in Evanston during COVID and the ways they have adapted to an online format! Join us TODAY on zoom at 2 pm!

Welcome Back, Historians!

TONIGHT, HGSA and the Loyola History Faculty are kicking off the year with a joint, department-wide party. We’ll chat and compete at Virtual Bingo--for prizes! Bring a beverage of your choice--coffee, tea, wine, or whatever you like, and come celebrate with your colleagues!
