USU History Department and WHQ Highlighted by AHA's HistoriansTV

The American Historical Association has recognized USU's Department of History and the Western Historical Quarterly for their innovative approach to teaching and research publication. In its second year partnering with HistoriansTV to produce 30 minute news programs for broadcast during its 2010 annual convention, the AHA selected USU for one of its five minute "thought leadership films." These feature segments highlight programs, policies, technologies, best practices, and institutions from around the US and Canada that advance the goal of historical research, scholarship, and education. USU's Department of History was recognized for its brilliant pedagogy and innovative assessment models, as well as for its leadership in the field of western American history. The AHA singled out its 40-plus year sponsorship of the Western Historical Quarterly which creates a unique and vibrant graduate program with special opportunities for students and faculty.
