History Council

The Undergraduate History Council (UHC) is a group of undergraduates elected as representatives by history majors and concentrators. In addition to serving as student advisors to the UNDED, they engage in a number of independent activities intended to improve undergraduates’ educational experiences in the department. UHC members act as peer advisors for fellow students, organize events (such as informal discussions with faculty), and award prizes to teaching assistants.

The Columbia Undergraduate Journal of History is a new project of the Undergraduate History Council at Columbia University which features outstanding undergraduate papers.

Advising is, as always, an important concern for the undergraduate student body, and the UHC has been working with the UNDED to find a system that is more responsive to the needs of students and faculty alike.
