Wilson Students Present at the 2024 PHA Meeting

Conferences are a great way for college students to learn about the latest research in their field, network with other professionals, and gain experience presenting their own work. Students from the Wilson College history program and history club attended the Pennsylvania Historical Association meeting, October 10 through 12, in Johnstown PA.
