Troy, Ala. (TROJANVISION) — The Troy University Department of History and Philosophy partnered with the History Club to host an Open House.

The event allowed students, new and returning, to learn more about what is offered in the history department and the History Club.

“I joined history club because I love history and I wanted to discuss it with like-minded peers,” said Matilda Ziegler, Vice President of the History Club. “History is not something that a lot of people are not necessarily interested in, and that’s something we’re trying to change. But it provides a space for those of us who are interested in the subject to discuss it with one another.”

During the open house students met current members of the club as well as professors in the history department. They also learned more about what the club has to offer.

“We have a lot of different events, just history-related events, we do a lot of movie nights, some trivia, we do a lot of study sessions for upper-level history courses,” Ziegler explained.

If you are interested in the History Club, announcements about meetings are on the club’s Instagram.

“Drop by a meeting if you’re at all interested,” Ziegler said. “There’s no time commitment or requirement. You can go to as many or as few meetings as you like.”

Troy History Club usually meets on Wednesdays.
