[Histmaj] Reminder: History Majors and Recent Graduates Needed as Volunteers for the History Lecture Series

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Dear History Students and Recent Alumni,

The History Lecture Series<https://events.uw.edu/event/HLS50/summary> is quickly approaching. Taking place on Wednesdays from January 22 through February 12, the event will explore the histories that have taken place along the banks of some of the world's most monumental rivers. This is a wonderful and popular series that is now in its 50th year at UW. I urge you all to attend.

To help the series run smoothly, we rely on volunteer assistance. I am looking for a few volunteers that can help us each week with set-up and teardown. We would meet in Smith Hall at 6:30 p.m. to carry materials over to Kane and begin preparing for the lecture (laying out the entrance, reserving seats, checking to make sure the auditorium is ready, etc.). You would greet guests at the door and help collect questions during the Q&A period. After the talk, you will help us tear down and carry materials back to Smith Hall. I anticipate everything wrapping up by around 9:00 p.m. In exchange for your assistance, the department will feed you beforehand (we meet in Smith around 5:30 p.m. to share a meal) and provide you with reserved seating at the event.

I am also looking for volunteers who can help with the HLS reception on January 22. Set-up would begin at 5:00 p.m., with clean-up happening at 7:30 p.m. Greeters will also be needed to help check guests in at the door.

If you would like to volunteer for the HLS talks and/or the reception, please let Nick Grall (ngrall at uw.edu<mailto:ngrall at uw.edu>) know which dates you are available (January 22, January 29, February 5, February 12, the entire series, and/or the reception).

Reach out with any questions!
