What Lancers Are Saying

My experience with the Department of History has equipped me with the skills to work as a high school educator, teaching IB history for the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board. Even as a graduate, the wonderful educators in the program have inspired and encouraged me to seek out further research opportunities around the world and to continue my professional development as an aspiring historian.

My experience at the University was greatly enhanced by the presence of some amazing professors and faculty.... Additionally, the History Students Association has provided me with support and connections to other students who could give me advice about navigating the department. I have loved that the university is small enough that I can get to know my professors and they know me by name as well.
