Dear Ph.D. Students,

First, please find the revised HIST 810 syllabus attached. As you will see, I have added an additional session for Prospectus Presentations on Nov. 28. There are a few reasons for this, but the main one is that there were two students from the summer who wanted to present this fall AND a few more students have approached me recently about presenting this fall. It is difficult to accommodate everyone when I would like to limit each session to three presentations.

Second, I have also attached the "Prospectus Presentation Guidelines." If you are planning to present this fall, please review these guidelines carefully. You cannot present unless you have completed all required steps.

If anyone has any additional questions, do let me know.

I hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day weekend!

Dr. Smith
