History student Rihanna Ehrenreich spotted at the Eclipse events on April 8th!

Undergraduate History students Clarice McKee and Kirsten Bell presented their senior honors thesis research at the Humanities Symposium as part of this year's Undergraduate Research Exposition hosted by the University of Rochester's Office of Undergraduate Research.

 Clarice's project was titled "From Belief to Retreat: Prophetic Failure in the Fifth Crusade," and Kirsten's project was titled "Challenging the Stereotype of the Witch: Medea in 15th Century Burgundy."

Last month's question was:

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

Anna Kisluk (BA '71) wrote: "Prague. I'm of Czech background and the first language I learned was Czech. English is actually my second language. I've always loved that when I go to the Czech Republic I am usually taken for a native. Besides which, Prague is a beautiful city with many historical places and art. History and I have friends there."
