POTSDAM, N.Y. – Twenty SUNY Potsdam students were recently inducted into Phi Alpha Theta, the national historical honor society.

The inductees included Rachel Trumble of Parish, New York.

In order to be inducted into the College’s chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, students must either major or minor in history and complete a total of 12 credit hours, as well as having an overall grade point average of at least 3.0, and a history GPA of 3.1 or higher.

Guided by a faculty steeped in scholarly research and committed to excellence in the classroom, SUNY Potsdam history majors and minors develop essential skills in critical reading, writing, speaking and thinking. About half of the department’s 220 majors pursue certification as teachers, primarily in secondary education. An increasing number of majors seek advanced degrees in historical studies, museum studies and archival training. Whatever their plans, history students receive a broad liberal arts education that prepares them for a variety of careers.To learn more, visit http://www.potsdam.edu/academics/AAS/History[1].
