About Us
Overview
The Northeastern University History Association (NUHA) is the official student organization of the History Department of Northeastern University, though many of our members come from other departments. We meet every week to listen to student presentations on historical topics that interest them, play Jeopardy and trivia games, watch faculty research presentations, and more! We also go on monthly trips to historical sites in the Boston area, including Gloucester, Salem, and Plymouth and they're really fun! If you're interested in joining, click the links on the left to join our Engage page and our distribution list!
NUHA is also affiliated with the Northeastern Historical Review (NHR). This is our in-house academic journal that publishes original research in history written by Northeastern students. Occasionally, we will have research talks in coordination with the Review at our meetings, but they are nonetheless a separate entity so if you're interested in learning more about them, visit their website at northeasternhistoricalreview.org.
If you have any questions about NUHA, please feel free to reach out to contact@northeasternhistoryassociation.org. It's a very fun and casual group, so definitely don't be afraid to get involved!
