Student History Society

The SHS is a registered student organization dedicated to bringing together students, faculty, and community members to discuss historical topics, engage in conversations about current events and their historical antecedents, and create a community among history majors, students interested in history, and history department faculty.

Membership Meetings

The Student History Society hosts membership meetings in person and online every semester. We update our schedule in TigerZone. Please log into TigerZone for dates, locations, and links to virtual meetings.

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.
