1st Annual Texas A&M University-Kingsville History Conference

To all students and recent graduates who wish to present their historical research:

The 1st Annual Texas A&M University-Kingsville History Conference, sponsored by the Gamma Omega Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta and the Robert J. Kleberg History Club, will take place on Saturday, October 20, 2012. The conference will be held on the Texas A&M University-Kingsville campus and will include panels of undergraduate and graduate students who wish to present their research to both subject professionals and peers.

Undergraduate and graduate students interested in presenting should send their completed papers to phialphatheta@tamuk.edu by the end of the business day on Monday, September 10, 2012. Papers will be reviewed by a team of Texas A&M-Kingsville history professors prior to the conference date.

Graduate students will be commentators for undergraduate panels. Any graduate student interested in serving as a commentator should send his or her curriculum vitae to phialphatheta@tamuk.edu by September 10, 2012. A panel of judges will select the most well-researched and presented graduate and undergraduate papers (one from each category) to receive recognition in the form of cash awards.

Note: A student is not required to be a member of Phi Alpha Theta to participate. A minimal $15 registration fee will be collected on the day of the conference.

Also Note: A student who wishes to participate is NOT required to be a history major. We welcome ALL majors, and will gladly accept any paper with a historical emphasis, regardless of the nature of the course it was written for. Please note that conferences are a great asset to any resume!

If there are any questions, please contact Kelsey Davis at phialphatheta@tamuk.edu

We encourage students from any school to submit their work; this conference is not limited to TAMUK students.

Hoggies in New Zealand

The Political Science Program at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, with the assistance of the University's Division of International Studies & programs, is pleased to introduce its Pacific Studies Program - a pioneering collaborative initiative between A&M-Kingsville and the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.

The Pacific Studies Program (PSP) is being co-directed by Dr. Nirmal Goswami, Professor of Political Science, A&M-Kingsville and Dr. Elain Webster, Director, Summer School and Continuing Education, University of Otago. The PSP will include graduate and undergraduate students traveling to and staying in New Zealand from July 5th - 22nd, 2012, attending classes at the University of Otago, and visiting multiple sites through field trips in the greater Otago region. Areas of focus include history, politics, economics, culture, sustainability and environmental policies, etc., with reference to both the greater Pacific region and New Zealand.

Dr. Christine Reiser-Robbins, Anthropology Program, Texas A&M-Kingsville, is directing a Service Learning Project, a special component of the PSP. The PSP will facilitate interaction between iddle and high school students from Bishop School District, Texas and Logan Park High School, Dunedin, Otago, through the application of Internet-enabled technologies.

You are all invited to cyber travel with us as we learn about the uniqueness of New Zealand and the surrounding region. Follow the Hoggie's blog as they document their experience.
