AHA24 Sessions of Interest for Undergraduates

The AHA hosts a number of sessions for undergraduate historians at the annual meeting, starting with Thursday'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 Rounds 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 meeting that may interest students as they relate to careers in the discipline, current events, and more—but undergrads are welcome to attend any session at the meeting unless otherwise indicated (e.g. it has “by invitation only” in the title).
