Meet Your Peer Guides
Not sure what courses to take next semester? Interested in options and strategies for your History Major or Minor? Considering turning your interest in history into a minor or major? Want perspectives from students with History experience?
Reach out to one of our new History Peer Guides! These upper division students have navigated the first few years at CU in History (and other programs) and are ready to be your conversation partner as you plan for future courses. They can help you think through questions, share their own stories, and they have all the information about upcoming course offerings, co-curricular opportunities (internships, Honors, Colorado Historian, etc.) and major/minor requirements at their fingertips. They can also point you to useful resources in and beyond the department.Ìý
You can email them to set up an in-person or virtual appointment.
