Welcome to the GHA website. Things are slow over the summer months, but there is some news:
New Officers: the spring elections are over, and the new GHA Officers for the 2009-2010 year are:
Congrats to the new crew, and we look forward to a busy and exciting year...
We also have a new cohort of graduate students to welcome to the UMass/ Five-College History Program. In no particular order, welcome to:
We also welcome back Laura Miller and Kate Freedman, who are moving up from the MA to the PhD programs this year...
As always, since we've a new group to welcome to campus and to the Valley, here is Brian Bixby's Free Advice. Enjoy!
Meetings-- GHA meetings will be held on a weekly or bi-weekly basis (depending on necessity).
The Fall Book-and-Bake Sale-- The GHA's first fundraiser each year is the Fall Book-and-Bake Sale. Students and professors contribute books
(old or new, on any and every topic) to sell to the campus community. "Foodies" in the department, or those at least willing to buy pastries or cookies,
contribute baked goods as another way to raise funds. Feed your body, feed your mind!
Donations are accepted throughout the year-- contact one of
our officers. Unsold inventory is stored in Herter 716. (Looking for something specific? Browsers always welcome!)
We will need volunteers to work the table, so if you have any free time on the day of the book sale we would appreciate your help, even if only for an hour.
This sale is held in the Lobby of Herter Hall during September or October.
The UMass Graduate Student History Conference-- Each year, the GHA holds the UMass Graduate History Conference, open to graduate students from across the nation.

This page slapped together in a halting and haphazard manner by Bill Allen (when he should have been studying), from stuff he had lying around the house.
Feel free to be amazed if any of it actually makes sense. Any mistakes are entirely Bill's fault, but he's used to that...
