Welcome Fall 2009

Welcome to fall term at Western and to our new history department blog. Plan to visit this blog often for history department news, announcements, advising tips, and other information of interest.
This year we have several changes in the department. We give Professor David Doellinger our sincere thanks for his great work as chair for the past three years. I am returning from sabbatical leave and will take on the duties of chair this year. Professors Bau Hwa Hsieh, Ben Lowe and Ram Sil will be serving as our graduate studies committee for the department. Professor Max Geier is on sabbatical leave this year and we welcome Professors Nell Brownell and Laurie Carlson who will be teaching with us this fall and throughout the year. Professor Rector continues to serve as Social Science Division Chair.
With best wishes for a great fall 2009 term,
Kimberly Jensen
History Department Chair
