Dear Ph.D. Students, The votes are in from our Doodle Poll and it appears that the best time for the majority of students to meet at the National Museum of American History for a personal tour of the Entertainment Nation exhibition is Monday, March 13 at 3:00 pm. I am still waiting for confirmation from Troutman, but I will be in touch. For students enrolled in HIST 810, if you cannot attend the tour, please make time before Monday, March 20 to see the exhibition on your own so you can participate fully in the conversation with Troutman. Best, Dr. Smith Suzanne E.
