We need your help! We received a photo of a group of men who worked on the Manhattan Project and there are a few people who we can't identify. The only person who we've identified is the man sitting on the right, wearing his army uniform. Leave a comment with what you found.

our faculty member Prof. Nikki Eggers is screening the Oscar-nominated 'Soundtrack to a Coup' at Central Cinema on April 6th (more details below). There will be a Q&A too, sadly timely again given recent events in the region.

wondering what to take next semester? Definitely check out Dr. Michael Wood's HIST 140: The American Presidency! A fascinating history of the office, and its impact, it also satisfies GSUS VolCore requirements - part of the department's new 100-level courses.
