From our Chair, Dr. Unowsky:

Dear History Graduates!

On behalf of the entire Department of History I extend sincere congratulations on your graduation! Your time in our programs overlapped with the unprecedented disruptions of the deadly COVID pandemic, yet you persevered. You pushed through; you rose to new challenges; you gained new insights into the historical developments that have shaped our world. You are ready to help shape the future as active and informed citizens.

Please consider liking our Memphis Historians page and keep in touch!

Best wishes,
Daniel Unowsky
