New Tri-U Graduate Students Association (TUGSA) co-presidents were chosen earlier this Fall 2022. The Tri-U is excited by the ideas and commitment the new team has to bring a deeper sense of community to the Tri-U.

The Tri-U congratulates nine students who became PhD Candidates during the month of October 2022. Successful completion of their comprehensive exams which includes a written and oral component moves them into the proposal writing stage for their research. This is an exciting milestone achievement.

The three universities in the Tri-University Graduate Program in History made seven exciting faculty appointments in the last year with a great diversity of research areas and expertise represented.

Eric Story, PhD candidate in History based at Wilfrid Laurier University, recently won two writing awards.

Dr. Krzyzanowski’s presentation is entitled, “Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Power Relations in Polish Villages during the German Occupation and the Holocaust.”  

"An outstanding doctoral candidate in History, Rebecca MacAlpine is a dedicated, disciplined, and thoughtful student, and she brings those same characteristics to her roles as TA, instructor, and most recently departmental TA Mentor and Coordinator."
