The Time Lines Newsletter is printed annually and is distributed to Department of History alumni and students. To access previous years' editions, click here. The newsletter is offered exclusively in .pdf format. (To read .pdf documents, you must have Adobe Acrobat. Click here to download Adobe Acrobat free of charge.)
The department has created a Facebook page, “History Department, The College at Brockport,” to keep students and faculty alike informed of departmental events. Some of the information displayed on the page include student and faculty success, departmental lectures, and information about upcoming events.
The department hosts four annual lectures. Three of these, the Synnestvedt Memorial Lecture, the Maynooth Lecture, and the Robert Marcus Memorial Lecture bring outside scholars to the College for an evening lecture. The fourth lecture features the Kutolowski Departmental Fellow. This is an award that helps support the research endeavors of a tenured faculty member in the History Department. Each year, the Fellow presents the results of his or her research in a talk held in the Spring.
We also hold an annual celebration of student scholarship and a separate ceremony where our faculty highlight the accomplishments of our graduating seniors. Department faculty members have also been active in organizing conferences.
