History Club
The History Club is intended to create an environment to bring history to life and encourage students to explore their passions for history through creative and fun approaches. The club activities are centered around the National History Day (NHD) Competition. Students will be able to work with friends as a group or individually to create a project based on a historical topic using their choice of media including a tri-fold exhibit, documentary, performance, website, or essay. These projects will participate in the National History Day Regional Contests in the Spring and compete for a chance to ultimately advance to the National Contest. To prepare for this contest, the club will provide opportunities to watch movies, interact with guest speakers, and discuss history. All are welcome to join. We look forward to an exciting year with everyone!

Usually, these topics are overlooked or deemed as boring in many courses. Really, these topics are very important in everyday life and are great brain stimulators. Each member will engage with each other and work to answer questions that seem unanswerable, and debate certain topics that may seem uncomfortable or unknown. But in the grand scheme of things, it will just be a fun time of discussion and debate with other members that you will create bonds with. Every member walks out of each meeting with increased confidence in their values and ability to confront ethical dilemmas. We cover a broad range of topics from the coronavirus vaccine distribution, the multiverse, the trolley problem, eugenics and more. We will be asking tough ethical questions and discussing them together! You don't want to miss the party on World Philosophy Day, guest speakers (Dr. Hallie Liberto last year, a philosophy professor at UMD), and more!
