Dear History Students, Happy New Year! I will be writing over the next few weeks to let you know about a few exciting History courses that you might want to consider taking in Spring 2017 (but not too many e-mails, I promise!). Today I want to feature Prof. Alger's course HIST 289, "Careers in Law: A Comparative History," which will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:15 to 10:30am. This course is a "must take" for: 1. anyone who is contemplating a career in the legal profession 2. as a BONUS, It fulfills not only the new legal history concentration BUT ALSO the requirement that ALL majors must fulfill for an upper- level non-Western course. Please let me know if you have any questions. And don't forget to register for the spring. Courses are filling up quickly! Best wishes, Prof. Celello Director of Undergraduate Studies
