Wayne State welcomes the new Undergraduate Student History Club

Who we are and what we do

The Wayne State History Club invites all majors, minors, and students interested in understanding understand the past and its relationship to the present to join. The club hosts lectures, study sessions, essay writing events, movie nights, and dinners.

At our study sessions, you'll be able to receive help from history majors on studying for exams, writing essays, and getting more out of your weekly readings. Whether you are a history buff or just trying to get by in your classes, this club provides a fun and energetic platform to meet other people and get the help you may need.

Everything has a history, including the History Club

The History Club originated last year, when our three co-presidents Aya Beydoun, Addie Walsh, and Kenneth Alyass (below), all history majors, were disappointed to learn that there was no place for undergraduates to discuss history outside of the classroom.

We decided to form a club that would host events to connect students interested in studying the past. Since our founding, The Club has held over 50 study sessions, two lectures, multiple dinners, and co-hosted trips to local museums with the Museum Club, with whom we share a mission of providing a platform to facilitate history community at Wayne State.

What's next?

Two of our three co-presidents will be graduating, so The Club is searching for its future leadership. We host study sessions on Tuesdays from 4 to 6 p.m., and on Thursdays from 1 to 2 p.m. Additionally, all of our events are posted on our Facebook: Wayne State History Club and Twitter @WSU_HistoryClub.

If you are interested in working with us on developing a leadership position, please contact kenalyass@wayne.edu for more information.
