Hello once more, History Loggers! Sorry for not updating last Friday. It's getting towards the end of the semester and things are getting crazy busy! On that note, I won't be here on Friday of this week, so this post will have to do you for last week and this week. Hopefully, you all are keeping up with all your schoolwork. Thanksgiving Break is almost here so just keep truckin' on!

Something to keep you going...An exciting opportunity!

The History Department at Mississippi State University is holding their 5th annual Symposium for History Undergraduate Study and they've put out the call for papers! The Symposium will take place April 26-27, 2013 and the MSU history department will pay for one night's lodgings and provide a BBQ banquet. The theme for this year's symposium is "Uncovering Buried Voices: Issues of Conflict and Change Through History".

If you're interested, you must submit a 500 word proposal or abstract by email to Dr. Julia Osman at josman@history.msstate.edu.
