Fernando Valdes - Monday, September 11, 2023
 Weekly Newsletter 
History Club & Phi Alpha Theta Newsletter Header

An Introduction

  Howdy, History Club members! In an attempt to keep everyone informed of the different things happening around campus and in trying to give everyone a fighting chance at our next trivia night, we've decided to begin publishing a newsletter. This will have a list of upcoming events from us and other organizations and departments we work closely with, a "this week in history" section, and a short greeting from your officers. In the future, we might even have people write a short blurb for the newsletter, but that is yet to come. For now, I hope everyone has a good week. 

Your president,         
Fernando Valdes
