Collegiate Affairs Faculty Committee:

The committee in charge of the concentration consists of three History professors who serve three-year terms. A tenured faculty member serves as the chair of the committee. Some of its many duties include choosing the instructors for the undergraduate program, regulating the concentration requirements, and ensuring sufficient and varied course offerings. The committee serves as the final authority for questions of requirements, transfer credit, and departmental honors and prizes. The Committee for the 2011-2012 year is as follows:

Please feel free to make an appointment with the Chair of the committee to discuss the program, your advisors within the department, or any other concerns you may have.

Undergraduate Program Coordinator:

Traci Parker
OFFICE: SS225, (773)702-2178
Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday 10-1, and Wednesday 11-5.
The coordinator will probably be the first person you contact in the History Department after choosing the concentration and will continue to serve you as a source of information, and as a contact with the Department, the Collegiate Affairs Committee and your preceptor. The coordinator sends out quarterly newsletters, information about internships and fellowships, and maintains the undergraduate web page and bulletin board (2nd floor Social Science Bldg.). The UG coordinator can be contacted with questions about the requirements, opportunities, and deadlines. She also serves as a person whom you can approach for assistance or suggestions.

This position is generally filled by a graduate student in the History Department, and the current coordinator is Traci Parker, a student in the U.S. History program.

Undergraduate Preceptors:

The preceptor office is in FOSTER 4.
The preceptors have two primary roles in the Undergraduate concentration: (1.) Lead the BA Seminar, History 29801-29802 (2.) Advise undergraduates about concentration requirements, course offerings, and faculty members. They are the person a concentrator will work most closely with and they will serve as that concentrator's most immediate contact with the department. (They are also valuable resources for information about the opportunities for a degree in History, especially questions concerning graduate school.) The Preceptors are all advanced graduate students who have a wide variety of teaching experience as well as having excelled in their own work. They are selected by the Collegiate Affairs Committee and usually serve for a two-year term.
