Service Opportunities

The Student History Society allows students to earn service leadership hours in a variety of ways. We've listed some below.

  • West Tennessee History Day
  • G.A.A.A.H. Conference (Graduate Association for African American History)
  • Representing the History Department at University events, such as Women's History Month, Black History Month, Banned Books Week, etc.

Everything and everyone has a history! If you have a suggestion, or if there is a historical aspect to celebration or commemoration that you're involved in, please contact SHS and we will consider co-hosting, supporting, or creating materials in support of your event.
