Phi Alpha Theta, Epsilon Nu Chapter

We are a professional society whose mission is to promote the study of history through the encouragement of research, good teaching, publication and the exchange of learning and ideas among historians. We seek to bring students, teachers and writers of history together for intellectual and social exchanges, which promote and assist historical research and publication by our members in a variety of ways.

(Mission statement of Phi Alpha Theta National Organization)

At the University of Memphis, our Phi Alpha Theta chapter is committed to each of the ideals expressed in the national mission statement. We espouse these ideals through our activities and our involvement in departmental programs. We host lunchtime lectures so that faculty and students may share their research with each other and the larger university community. We also seek to promote richer interactions between students and teachers of history at all levels by organizing formal and informal gatherings of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty members.
