The AHA hosts a number of sessions for undergraduate historians at the annual meeting. Mark your calendars for Friday’s informal orientation for undergraduate attendees followed directly by a welcome reception. These are great opportunities to learn about the structure of an academic conference, ask questions, and network. We encourage you to stop by the Undergraduate Lightening Round and Undergraduate Poster Session even if you are not presenting to support and see the work of your peers. We have also selected some sessions throughout the weekend that may interest students as they relate to careers in the discipline, current events, and more.
