HiGSA: History Graduate Student Association
What is HiGSA?
HiGSA is an organization of history graduate students at the University of Connecticut.
What does HiGSA do?
HiGSA brings graduate students together for social and academic activities. One of the strengths of graduate study in history at UConn is our close-knit, supportive community of graduate students. HiGSA helps to create and maintain this community by sponsoring a variety of events such as happy hours, soup lunches, faculty presentations, instructional workshops, mentorship programs, and off-campus field trips. Regular HiGSA meetings allow all history graduate students to have a voice in determining our priorities and activities.
HiGSA Webpage
The goal of our webpage is to serve both current and prospective history graduate students at UConn. Previous meeting minutes and upcoming events will be linked on the left sidebar, allowing current and prospective students to get an idea of what opportunities and events we offer. You will also find links to biographical info of current history graduate students at UConn, allowing prospective students to get an idea of the background and interests of current students. Finally, the survival guide is a valuable reference on living and studying at UConn for new and prospective students. A major goal of this page is to reach out to prospective students. Anyone considering graduate study in history at UConn should feel free to email questions to the HiGSA officers below, or to contact any of the current graduate students who share your interests or potential advisor. Don’t be shy, we’d be happy to discuss the rewards and challenges of UConn!
