History Club

Welcome to the CNU History Club! All students with an interest in History are welcome to join.  Meetings are held monthly with dates and times announced on this website, History Club bulletin board, and via email.  Contact Dr. John Hyland to be added to the email, preferably your cnu.edu email address.

History Club activities include trips to historical sites and museums, history movie nights, and guest speakers.  The History Club also sponsors Faculty Research Colloquiums where faculty members discuss their current research/writing projects.

Our Mission:
  1.  To encourage interaction between faculty and students outside the classroom
 

2.  To visit and learn about the many battlefields, museums, and other historical sites in Virginia and the

     Mid-Atlantic region

  3.  To provide service to the Community and University
  4.  To read and discuss the latest trends in history and historical scholarship
  5.  To discuss job and graduate-school opportunities in history
