The History Department is pleased to announce that in July 2012 it will host a tour of World War II sites in Britain and France. The tour is designed to showcase a new undergraduate study abroad program on the history of World War II and its impact on the modern world. The 2012 tour will begin in London, include the beaches and battlefields of Normandy, and proceed to Paris, with an optional extension excursion to Berlin. Three faculty hosts will provide expert background lectures along the way and local guides will escort the group through the various historical sites. A tentative itinerary of the tour may be found at the link below. Question or inquiries may be directed to Peter L. Hahn, Professor and Chair, at hahn.29@osu.edu.
We are friends of the History Department at The Ohio State University. Some of us are current and former students of the university; some of us earned degrees in history; others are current and former faculty members of the department; some of us have an interest in the History Department and its continued growth in excellence; and all of us love to read and talk about history. We range in ages from 18 to 88 and from history specialists to business people, lawyers, and other professionals who never lost their interest in history.
If you liked history as an undergrad, then you are going to love it now.
Your gifts to the Department of History at Ohio State University empower us better to fulfill our mission of publishing the very best research, providing excellent instruction to our students, and advancing the interests of the citizens of Ohio. Your generosity will enable a needy undergraduate to remain in school, assist an ambitious graduate student in traveling to an archive in the United States or abroad, supplement the department’s quest to retain the very best faculty, or otherwise help us to advance our mission.
