History 101 Circus 2020

[Image Identification: The pink silhouette of a circus sits on a white background above the words "History 101 Circus" in decorative black print. Below that, on a pink background, white text reads, "Since you can't go to an actual circus, why not come to Phi Alpha Theta's History 101 Circus. Whether you are presenting a thesis or supporting your friends, tickets are free if you RSVP!" on the left and "May 8th, 2020; 10:00AM - 4:00PM; Zoom Link: shorturl.at/cnCT5 ; Password: clowns." At the bottom of the image, black text provides the RSVP link.]

Come one, come all, to the first-ever completely online History 101 Circus! Yes! We’re still doing this!


Phi Alpha Theta’s History 101 Circus is your opportunity to share your senior research with the rest of Berkeley’s History community. If you are interested in attending or presenting at this year’s Circus, please RSVP at https://forms.gle/1HZjeeJrE3wxaykf6


In all honesty, we appreciate our fellow history students so much, especially seniors! We are so proud to be able to provide this opportunity for a culmination ceremony of sorts when everything else is so up in the air.

Choosing Your Concentration Panel!

[Image description: The thinker sits on a pink background with an orange speech bubble that reads, "I'm so nervous about my concentration that I can't stop biting my nails!" Next to him is a block of orange text that says, "WHEN: 2/27, 7:00-9:00pm" and "WHERE: Dwinelle 242." Another block of orange text reads, "Figuring out how to choose a concentration is hard, but every history major has to do it! Come get some advice from our departing seniors!"]

Figuring out how to choose a concentration can be hard. Luckily, Phi Alpha Theta has put together a group of seniors so you can ask all your burning questions like: How do I fit my concentration classes into my schedule? When should I start planning out my concentration classes? Are there even jobs in religious history anymore?
Or maybe that last one is just me… At any rate, come on by this Thursday for a lovely time! We can’t wait to see you!!
